The journey from company formation and Series "A" round to eventual exit is fraught with uncertainty and success depends on many factors and a lot of luck. Experienced entrepreneurs and investors will say there's no detailed plan for achieving a successful exit. This program will share how four entrepreneurs have addressed the issues facing venture backed companies and their attempts to achieve this goal.

 

Please join us for a lively discussion of "A" round to exit, and a review of Q1 2012 Series "A" deals with our impressive panel of successful entrepreneurs. Following the panel, join us to network over a beer in the Venture Cafe at 5:30pm.

 

Panelists will discuss:

  • How did your business plan change since inception?
  • Looking back, what would you have done differently?
  • What value did your investors and board add to your success?
  • Term sheets - in retrospect, what do you suggest entrepreneurs pay attention to and what should they rely on their attorneys to handle?
  • Exit strategies - what advice would you give entrepreneurs aspiring to be acquired?
