Session Details:

To prepare for equity financing, you need to know what is expected from you and why.

As venture capital becomes part of the financing mix, in the upcoming round or the ones after, understanding the inner workings of this specific asset class is crucial. From a distance, the valuation and timing of different equity financing rounds may seem like products from a magic box, however, there is more logic involved than you might think.

During these morning sessions (pick your preferred date), this logic is explained and participants will understand how to prepare for the next financing round. Led by Toon Nagtegaal and David Crow, participants will be able to align their growth stages and execution plans accordingly.
