Program Description:

Your firm has revenues and a level of market acceptance and success. But the firm cannot grow to its full potential without significantly more capital. Your board and senior leadership team must decide whether to raise more capital with a new investment round, do an IPO, or look for a buyer for the company.

CEOs from different segments of the med tech and pharma space who have made these hard decisions will share their experiences. The interests of the founders and current investors must be considered. Control of the company will change.

• How do the alternative financing paths change the risks and potential for achieving the company\’s potential value?
• What is the market for raising funds or M&A, where will they be in 2 – 3 years?
• What will be the role of the current management team and board under the different scenarios?

You will learn how our panel considered these factors and others when they had to decide which path to take for their company. And how did their decisions work out?
