As a founder or executive of a startup or other growth company, you know firsthand that the ability to source and secure capital is critical to the ultimate success of your business. You’ve likely immersed yourself in the big picture – the current funding climate, making the right connections and networking with potential investors, and honing your investment pitch. But founders often realize, after they’ve secured some commitments for capital, that they aren’t fluent in the underlying language of capital funding, or don’t have a grasp on how to actually structure their financing round.
Join MDG Boston on October 7th, either in-person or online, for a practical, founder-focused session with Joe Ramadei, Partner at Gennari Aronson, LLP and MDG Boston Board Member, as he dives into the nuances of capital fundraising that founders often gloss over, to their detriment.
What You’ll Learn Joe will share real-world insights from advising startups and growth companies, including:
- Differentiating the basic alternatives for structuring a financing, from equity rounds, to convertible debt, to SAFEs
- Understanding the effects of your capital needs and funding sources—how the stage of your business and the nature of your investors influence the type of financing you’ll select
- The anatomy of various investment structures, and the impact of key provisions in each type of financing document
