Capital is a startup’s fuel. Errors made in the organization or running of your business, or during the capital raising process, can make the entire difference between success and failure. And, even if successful at raising money, unhappy investors or federal or state securities’ regulators can reach back around and turn success into business-ending trouble. Please join us to learn from the mistakes that other startups have made, how to maximize your chances of raising money, and how to avoid liability and litigation. We’ll address key questions, including:
- How do you organize and run your business in a way that will be most appealing to investors?
- What mistakes do startups make in the capital raising process that torpedo success?
- How do you raise capital without inviting liability and litigation?
- What are the “war stories” that will avoid the repeating of others’ mistakes?
