The world of venture capital has fundamentally changed, some changes driven by the environment, some by regulatory reform. The lack of liquidity events, particularly the decline in IPOs, is creating a challenging fundraising environment for both venture funds and the early stage companies that rely on them for capital. Given these changes, this webcast will provide a list of the issues that those working in VC need to consider, as well as analysis of new deal structures and how the outlook for VC looks down the road.

Join these experts:

  • Jonathan Axelrad, Partner, Goodwin Procter LLP
  • Steve Bochner, CEO, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati LLP
  • Gordon Davidson, Chair, Fenwick & West LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

  • What is the outlook for venture capital? How has the industry fundamentally changed?
  • How are deal terms and prerequisites to obtaining financing changing?
  • What issues should companies seeking venture capital consider now?
  • How does the process work for seeking venture capital changed? What are the differences in how deals are being structured?
  • How has the nature of exit strategies for VC-backed companies changed?
