Continuing the Business Builders Series, the MIT Enterprise Forum and Brown Raysman Millstein Felder & Steiner LLP jointly present a panel discussion of the practical side of early stage ventures. MITEF recently presented The Right Stuff, a discussion of the personal attributes of successful entrepreneurs. Now, it's time to convert your idea into action...with the basic tools for THE RIGHT START.
You know the questions:
What kind of cushion do you need before actually jumping off the cliff? Should you incorporate? How do you whip together a credible 'corporate' identity? What will your investors look for, and what should you expect them to provide? How should you structure your planning and your information? What initial traps and pitfalls will you face? What precautions should you take, and how can you turn them into future competitive advantages?
Finally
some answers.
Moderated by Brad Fisher, President and CEO of the Tailwind Entrepreneurial Network, THE RIGHT START will include panelists from all sides of the early venture process discussing the business, legal, investment and accounting issues that invariably arise in the very early stages of a new business enterprise. Well tackle the topics from our own experiences, with real stories, sample documents and useful checklists developed on the front lines. |
