No bad blood: A Special Livestream on Due Diligence for Startup Founders and Investors.

A Panel of Experts Discusses Due Diligence for Startup Founders and Investors.

Every startup investment involves due diligence on the part of the investor and active participation on the part of the founders.

As the story of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes demonstrated, due diligence is needed at every step of the company building and financing cycle, and it can be a tricky thing.

Investors need to have full visibility into a company’s technology and operations before making an investment decision and founders need to be careful about all their representations.

But when a deal is being done at “Silicon Valley speed” in high resolution, how do the parties navigate this in an efficient way?

Our panel of experienced founders and investors will discuss.
