They say that money makes the world go round, and indeed, one of the greatest challenges for growth companies is getting the right capital at the right time. We focus here on the opportunities of international investment and deal making. This track gives technology companies a sense of what is needed to succeed with investors, and the importance of finding a financing partner that can provide the right additional value beyond the financing.
Speakers include Len Jordan (Madrona), Stephen Saltzman (Intel Capital), Bill Bryant (Draper Fisher Jurvetson), and Gregory Carson (Ocean Bridge Capital).
On
the agenda are industry specific discussions; key note speakers;
business and knowledge matchmaking sessions with delegates from Sweden
and the U.S.; the Wallenberg Banquet Dinner; seminars; optional company
visits to Boeing, Microsoft, University of Washington; as well as many
networking opportunities.
