THE STANDOFF: OPERATORS VERSUS VENTURE CAPITALISTS

When things are going well, everyone feels like they’re on the same side of the table. When things are not going so well, it’s a different story. This is the reality of the founder-investor relationship. It’s not an easy relationship by any means - especially during bear markets. Join an esteemed panel of serial entrepreneurs and seasoned VCs for an open and frank conversation about term sheet pitfalls, misaligned goals, poor communication and the importance of building resilience through a strong advisory board. Gain insights about how to navigate a market downturn and hear personal stories from both sides of the table - the heroics, the good, the bad and ugly. Be ready for some heat!
