TODAY & TOMORROW’S FUNDRAISING ENVIRONMENT
Friday, April 4, 2008
12:00 - 1:30 PM Eastern, 9:00-10:30 AM Pacific
Three years running, this annual program on the fundraising environment has been our most well attended webcast. Please join us as Howard Rosenblum of DLA Piper and our distinguished panel, consisting of managers from two new venture funds, a respected Limited Partner and an active placement agent, discuss how today’s fundraising environment has changed over the last year and what they predict for the coming months.
The data shows that the dollar amount of venture capital fundraising has increased during the past two years. However, the data is heavily influenced by a handful of large industry veterans. Many small and first-time venture funds continue to experience a challenging market. This discussion will help provide insight on how to position your next fund, where to find new capital sources and will provide insight from venture managers who have recently closed first-time funds.
