Investment Readiness Program
With a theme of Scaling Up for Global Growth, we are excited to present our Investment Readiness Program for the 2020 #BCTECHSummit. The program will provide founders with a comprehensive overview of the North American fundraising landscape, the best M&A strategies and tactics for global growth, and opportunities to build relationships with your next potential investor.
This half-day track, taking place on June 1 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, will be divided into two streams: companies looking to raise less than $1 million or explore alternative fundraising options and companies looking for more than $1 million.
We will kick things off with a panel discussion from some of North America’s leading investors, followed by “reverse pitch” presentations (funders to founders according to investment size) and then matched roundtable discussions.
