August 23, 2012 | 6:00-8:30 PM | Two Palo Alto Square | Palo Alto
Event Sponsor: Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP
Many of Silicon Valley's most successful companies have capitalized on their relationships with strategic partners and investors, taking advantage of key customer relationships and sharing development costs for new products. In addition, leveraging global strategic investors can help accelerate a young company's international presence critical in today's global economy. However, working with a strategic investor for a growing company also has its risks with respect to investment terms and the liquidity event.
