About The Show
With so many deals in the marketplace, investors are approaching due diligence in a much more accelerated way. But in addition to the speed of deal flow and the changing investor requirements, technology companies are more than just a pitch on investing in intellectual property. Technology companies must show their relevance, digital accessibility, and ability to compete in the digital marketplace.
- Digitize Now: How are companies internally transforming their operation and digitizing their products and services to enable their customer and integrate with existing processes?
- Go-to-Market: How are they using digital tools to prove to the marketplace that they are a digital asset? What type of spending is justified?
- Making the Most of a Pre-Capital Period: What must companies do to raise capital today? What do investors want and how can companies prepare now…for a raise in the future?
Want to be on the show?
We are actively interviewing active investors (and firms), companies (especially tech companies), and active consultants and other C-level advisors. We are especially interested in companies who are looking to raise capital in the next 6-12 months and investors (all kinds) who have exited a deal within the last 12 months. We want to hear your experience and share your morsels of wisdom!
