Meet an Investor – Lavelle Capital (family office / high net worth)
December 19 @ 13:00 - 13:30 CST
Entrepreneurs looking to raise startup funds often face two problems:
- Very few investors in their network of contacts
- A poor understanding of what motivates the investor to write a check
Join us for a quick fireside chat with a startup investor where we help founders tackle these two issues. In this 30-minute webinar, Sam Wong sits down with an investor to discuss their investment philosophy and talk through a wide range of startup topics, from current investment trends to past successes and failures with other startups. We’ll wrap with a brief audience Q&A.
I n this session, we’ll speak with Katie Fenner, VP at Lavelle Capital. Lavelle is not an early-stage startup investor, but founders can still gain valuable insight by understanding:
- How later-stage investments are evaluated.
- How to get some liquidity from your startup stock through a secondary sale.
- What considerations are important when trying to raise funds from a family office.
Be sure to register early as we only have a limited number of tickets available.
