| 2:10 - 3:20 | Panel 1 - Investing for Growth: Strategies & Techniques by Professional Investors Investors look for growth. Some look for topline growth, others want to see step-change in margins and cash flow. Often companies need both. Infusing new equity capital to attack organic growth paths or “bolting on” capabilities, relationships, or reach through acquisitions are two key strategies that professionals investors underwrite to support growth. Join our panel of successful private equity professionals as they discuss the current state of middle-market M&A and growth capital investing, while also discussing the strategies, key issues, and experiences they’ve amassed with current and past portfolio investments. |
| 3:50 - 5:00 | Panel 2A - Launching Products & Building Brands Building successful brands and launching well-received products can put companies on a successful path. In a world of broad consumer options and pervasive social media, building an enduring brand in an ever changing world that consumers can relate to can be complex and challenging. Markets also expect each product or service a company launches to be flawless and enduring, and also well-orchestrated with limited to no issues right out of the gate. Please join our panel of senior executives as they share stories, strategies and tactics for building solid brands and taking successful products to market. |
Panel 2B - Funding Business Growth Capital and credit are critical for a company’s growth and success. Finding the right capital partner (debt or equity) or solution can also seem like a significant challenge for a variety of reasons: size, industry, asset coverage, interest rates, growth rates, or market factors, to name a few. Please join our panel of experienced executives and business owners as they discuss the methods they used to identify options to fund their business growth and the key decision points for selecting that path or solution for their business. |
