Or, pay $25 (cash) at the door. In this presentation the speaker will provide an overview of crowdfunding options and discuss how crowdfunding differs from traditional sources of capital. There will be a discussion on how to determine what crowdfunding option makes sense for particular startup organizations, including yours. The speaker will then compare the various investment fundraising strategies, including direct public offerings (DPO's) and the new Title III exempt crowdfunding. Finally, the speaker will describe the process of investment crowdfunding via direct public offering. (Often referred to as "investment crowdfunding", DPOs ( direct public offerings) are increasingly becoming a popular option for bypassing the traditional route of raising capital for startups and providing a way to engage individual investors directly in the success of community enterprises. The speaker will discuss what a DPO is, what types of companies use this tool, and successful examples of its implementation.)

Speaker and sponsor introductions 7:00 P.M. - 9:00: P.M. - startup workshop and Q & A This is the first workshop in a series of 3 sessions for startup founders, startup executives, entrepreneurs, innovators and developers. MATERIALS A comprehensive printed workbook and reference materials is included in the price of the admission. CURRICULUM Besides building and selling a product, entrepreneurs need to worry about many other things: - How to form a company - How to hire the right people - How to compensate the team - How to split the pie with the co-founders and the team members - How much equity to give investors and at what valuation - How to raise money and under what terms - And many more Often times these issues seem overwhelming, and traps for the unwary or uninformed are numerous. However, successfully avoiding the most common pitfalls can make a significant difference: - as to whether or not your startup is fundable - the sources and types of capital that you will attract - who controls the company - how much you will make upon exit - and your startups overall likelihood of success. In this first segment of the Startup Fundamentals series, Roger Rappoport, a partner and leader of the Emerging Growth & Venture Capital practice at Procopio, a respected law firm in Silicon Valley, will conduct an interactive, informative session with great take away materials and actionable items. Startup issues that will be covered in this workshop (among others): • choices in entity selection; • creating an appropriate capitalization table; • co-founders vs early employees (should they be treated differently?); • appropriate allocations of founders’ stock (including Series FF Preferred Stock) between founders and vesting, repurchase rights and rights of first refusal; • determining if and when it is appropriate to obtain proxies from co-founders/early employees; • stock allocation for employees, consultants, board and advisory board members, and the perils of Section 409A under the Internal Revenue Code when granting options; • when milestone based vesting, as opposed to time based vesting, is appropriate; • the assignment of intellectual property, and ensuring that all IP created belongs to the company; • executing employment/consulting agreements; and • the value of developing an intellectual property strategy early on.
