Ssm Presents "Let's Grow - Scaling Your Startup After a Financing Event" at SVB Experience Center for Sf tech week

Life after a financing event can be both joyous and well, a lot of work. What do startup founders need to know about how to scale their businesses and teams after they receive venture capital financing? Attendees joined Lindsey S. Mignano and her co-panelists Robert Ravanshenas of Maven Ventures, Danielle D'Agostaro of WVV Capital, Akriti Dokania of Ridge VC, James Wang of Creative Ventures, and Stephen Estes of CLA for a hosted lunch and networking event where they discussed topics such as negotiating founder compensation and executive termination and exit provisions; onboarding new hires while protecting your company’s IP and competitive advantages; working effectively with your venture investors to achieve business milestones, including scaling revenue to best prepare the company for the next round; and how to prolong your financial runway between this raise and the next one, whether through cost-savings measures, bridge rounds, or alternative forms of capital.  Matt Hentschel of Sequoia One PEO moderated the panel.
