ExecSense, May 2008, Pages: 120
The goal of this Video Seminar is to provide executives of VC-funded companies with critical information on starting the process of raising a follow-on round of venture capital in 2008-2009. The 120-minute seminar can be viewed streaming online or on DVD (on your computer or iPod) and features specific strategies on timing, dilution and necessary changes when negotiating deal terms in follow-on rounds of financing. The seminar is guaranteed to have a direct financial impact on negotiating terms and helping you determine the best timing possible for raising follow-on rounds. The video also highlights important new changes to deal structures and specific clauses that are advantageous to the company receiving funding, that are now being accepted in deal structures by all parties.
The seminar features the perspectives of Alex Wilmerding (Venture Capitalist, Boston Capital Ventures), Teo Dagi (Venture Capitalist, HLM Venture Partners), Andrew Bernstein (CEO of VC-Funded Cymfony) Stephen Bollinger (CEO of VC-Funded Pervasive Therapeutics), and Julio Vega (VC Lawyer, Bingham McCutchen). Take advantage of this resource that has been invaluable to CEOs of other VC-Funded companies.
