SUMMARY:The Mechanics of (Pre) Seed Stage Finance
DESCRIPTION:Often startups and early stage companies capitalize their business by issuing equity to outside investors. \nThe initial round of investment is often called a seed round. Depending on the stage of the company and the amount of capital raised\, the investment may be structured in a variety of ways and investors may range from friends and family to large institutional investors. The terms of the investment are often proposed in a short and non-binding document called a “Term Sheet.” For many\, the concepts in the Term Sheet are new or misunderstood but can have a lasting impact on the business.

SUMMARY:Venture Connectors Virtual Lunch
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot to like about the traditional tech financing model of Seed Round -> Series A -> Series B -> Exit/IPO. But SparkToro was not willing to trade lower risk and profitable growth for a higher growth rate pushed by investors that would bring high-risk consequences to their long-term prospects. The company is proving there’s another way to raise money that can be a better bet than the “9 losers for every 1 winner” math of venture investment. \nJoin us to hear a discussion with Rand Fishkin\, Co-founder & CEO of Seattle-based SparkToro\, moderated by Louisville entrepreneur Demetrius Gray\, Co-founder & CEO of WeatherCheck. SparkToro’s nontraditional funding approach makes high quality market research and audience intelligence available to everyone\, providing startups with previously impossible-to-get data about any online audience’s attributes\, behavior and sources of influence.

SUMMARY:Creating Inclusive Cultures
