BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Raising Money: Valuation DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Raising Money: Valuation. TCVN. This month's program will address the following: What is the effect of the pre-money valuation and why is it such a difficult issue? What are the criteria that angel investors and VCs use to determine the pre-money valuation at which they will invest? Should the issue be of equal importance to the entrepreneur and the investors? What are some strategies for overcoming differences and making the investment process a "win-win" proposition? Discussing this issue from their different perspectives and trying to answer your questions will be a panel of experienced seed, angel and VC investors. The discussion will be lively and candid, and it is a great opportunity for both investors and entrepreneurs to learn more about the many different approaches to valuation and whether there are any general rules that can apply to the valuation process.
