There
are many encouraging signs that venture capital investing is
poised for a rebound. There
was some $80 billion of committed, but non-invested, capital in
the beginning of 2003. The conclusion of the Iraqi war has
removed uncertainty and the resurgent stock market provides
the lure of an attractive exit for private companies.
Savvy
venture capitalists are more amenable to investing in
entrepreneurial companies as business plans have become more
compelling and as valuations have become more attractive. The
playing field has been cleared as many dysfunctional companies
– about 25% of vintage 1999 companies - have been swept
away.
In
addition to ferreting out the most meritorious business plans,
private equity investors must engineer the most favorable
terms. Before negotiating term sheets, investors must
understand the legal and financial implications of cramdowns,
anti-dilution provisions, liquidation preferences and
pull-forwards.
This
conference is designed to provide private equity investors
with insights into the most promising industries – such as
Internet, Software, Life Sciences, Wireless and Business
Services - as well as a review of financing strategies and
legal considerations. Attending
investors will also have the opportunity to listen to ten
dynamic private companies deliver road-show-like
presentations.
