Challenge yourself to deliver an ‘easy-to-understand’ story
Your audience is a listener to your presentations, a challenger of your strategy, an investigator conducting due diligence, a negotiator over investment terms, and finally a check writer to fund your growth. What makes your investor pitch address all these in the short time span you are given? Work your intentions towards reality. Place your pitch at the premium point with considerations for economic conditions, competitive forces and evolving customer needs. Craft a pitch that holds value to the investor, consumer and most importantly you. This workshop will take you through the nitty-gritty of aligning the investors head to his heart.
About the 2009 WORKSHOP SERIES :
Every year medical device companies that start as “three technologists and a couple of patents” are acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars. You may be surprised to learn that not only does much of this activity occur right here in Orange County but also that the underlying process of preparing a company for acquisition is a well understood business methodology that can be learned, mastered and applied over and over. As a business student or UC Irvine technologist, you will want to know how the process of positioning a medical device company for acquisition works, how long it typically takes, who you need to involve, what the keys are to raising investment funds and how you can you can apply this process to your personal situation.
The objective of this year’s Les Kilpatrick Students to Start-ups series is to provide business students and UC Irvine technologists with a broad understanding of the 60 to 84 month process of preparing a medical device company for acquisition enabling them to begin factoring this powerful wealth creation mechanism into their career strategy.
