In the current environment, venture capital funding has become more competitive, but it is still available. This presentation will cover what a startup should do to prepare for venture funding, what essential steps to take, what venture capitalists expect and how to avoid venture capital deal breakers.

Corporate and startup attorney Roger Royse will discuss:

1. What types of startups are viable candidates for venture capital funding

2. What types of startups are being funded now

3. How much money is being deployed and where

4. The essential assets, traction and qualities that your startup must have to even have a chance at success when approaching a venture capitalist

5. How you can make your startup more attractive to venture capitalists

6. How (and when) you should value your startup for venture capitalists

7. How to get your startup in front of venture capitalists

8. How you can protect yourself against dilutive rounds, losing control and being removed from management

9. How to establish and maintain good relationships with venture capitalists

10. How to build a strong personal brand when dealing with venture capitalists -- and why this is critical

and more!

Please come with your questions, comments and scenarios.
