ACG Cincinnati: January Luncheon

Venture Capital Cincinnati: Capturing Value and Driving Growth

Last year's venture capital panel was one of the most exciting and well attended luncheons of the year.  The panel for this luncheon program will include prominent legal, venture capital, and VC company representation.  The discussion will focus on going from seed to venture and beyond.  It will include:

How and when Seed Companies graduate to VC companies

Finding and selecting VCs 
  • Local, regional, national - how far has Cincinnati come in recent years?
  • Mentoring, strategic support, and creating ambassadors for the company
  • Handling multiple negotiations and effectively pitching the company
VC Term Sheet Negotiation
  • Preferred Company Structure, entity type and board composition
  • Use of standard forms (Orrick and other Big Law Term Sheet Generators, NCVA, etc.)
  • East Coast vs. West Coast approaches
  • Liquidation preference
  • Founders' compensation and protection
Exits and Future Rounds
  • Differences between series (A vs. B vs. C, etc.)
  • Typical time horizon for eventual exit
