With the public markets unsettled, VCs re-defining their investment strategies, and the burdensome requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley making the cost and effort required to file an IPO more than many companies can bear, Corporate Investments and Strategic Alliances may present a better financing opportunity, and offer the most viable exit strategy for entrepreneurs and fast-growing technology companies. This event will enable attendees to learn what corporations are looking for from strategic partners and strategic investments, how to effectively target corporations and improve the odds of closing a deal, and more.
