BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Art of the Start-up DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Art of the Start-up. CONNECT. For entrepreneurs, deciding to form a company, or become involved with a start-up, presents enormous challenges. Navigating around legal, fund raising and other issues can often seem overwhelming, and traps for the unwary or uninformed are numerous. However, successfully avoiding the most common pitfalls made by entrepreneurs can make a significant difference as to whether or not a company is fundable, the sources and types of capital that will be attracted, who controls the company, the economic impact on founders upon exit, and a company's likelihood of success. In this interactive half day workshop, Roger Rappoport will discuss these and other issues in three interactive sessions.
