Pack Your Calendar with Panels You Need to Get Deals Done - Including:
Romancing the Deal: Getting to “I do” and Getting What You Want - Only fools rush in to going after venture money, and for good reason...learn how to negotiate a funding round, straight from successful founders.
Determining Need vs. Greed - We've all heard value dilution horror stories where some poor startup founder takes too much funding in the fight to grow big dreams. Determine how much moolah you really need, explore alternative financing options, and learn how to protect your (ass)ets along the way.
Equity Structure - Who gets what, for how much, for how long? Plot a divide-to-conquer strategy, and learn how this framework affects your legal rights, VC outlook, and paves the road to the exit of your dreams.
It's All About the Benjamins, Baby: Team, Board, & Advisor Compensation - What are the legal landmines you need to watch fur for when padding the wallets of your startup team? Hear how successful portfolio companies structure compensation packages, straight from the throats of top VCs.
Taming the Term Sheet - Walk through an actual term sheet with a VC, entrepreneur, and law-dog. For some reason these guys are willing to point out the quicksand and quagmires, so your team can learn to tiptoe around them. Take notes. Heck, take a video for future reference...you won't get this kind of chance twice.
How Not to P*&^ Off Your Primary Investors - the pride goeth before the fall and all that. Figure out (ahead of time) what you can do to keep these relationships coming up roses. We'll talk about how to structure these communications so you wear the pants, and how to deal with sleeping on the proverbial couch to salvage relationships in crisis without a 'divorce.'
