2:30-3:00 Raising Capital and Exit Strategy
Andy Clapp
Managing Partner, Brightside Venture Capital 

With all the capital seeking to invest or acquire companies, why is it so difficult for some companies to conclude a reasonable deal, or any deal at all?

Andy Clapp will address this topic and present his message on why you should focus on a Transition rather than a Transaction, and the steps that can be taken to successfully raise capital or achieve a liquidity event for you and your shareholders.

Andy’s experience includes GE, Consulting with Arthur D. Little, President of Equifax Research, transatlantic investment banking with Downer & Co., launching and managing 3 funds, and currently advising companies on capital raising and transitioning ownership.  He is a graduate of Clarkson University and Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth.
