TRDA workshop on financing tech startups

FINANCING TECHNOLOGY VENTURES
A Workshop For Technology Companies
Raising Capital To Grow Their Business
If you are considering raising angel or venture capital investment for your business, then this TRDA workshop is for you!
You will learn what angels and venture capitalists look for in companies they invest in, along with the math behind the valuation offers they make. We will also dissect the language and impact to you for each element of a “term sheet”, which is the offer letter used by most angel groups and venture capitalists.

Topics covered will include:
 An introduction to angel investing and venture capital

 Investor due diligence and what they look for in a company
 Term sheet and offer letter basics
