Join us during Philly Tech Week as we discuss the basics of startup fundraising, from self-help, to crowdfunding, to institutional investors.
Speakers:
David Sorin, Partner, McCarter & English
Laurie Actman, Chief Operating Officer, Penn Center for Innovation
Ryan Mendoza, Senior VP of Engineering, Graphene Frontiers
This workshop will cover:
- The sources of early stage funding (self-help, bootstrapping, friends/family/fools, accelerators, crowdfunding, angels, VCs, corporate and strategic partners).
- The various means of raising capital (founders stock, common stock, SAFEs, KISSes, convertible debt, preferred stock, grants).
- The new regulatory environment, including Reg A+
- The observable trends in funding that every entrepreneur should know.
We'll also hear from Penn about how the University facilitates and supports commercialization and funding, and hear directly from Penn startup Graphene Frontiers about their own first-hand fundraising experience.
