(External) Startup Journey!

Please Join Us for the Startup Journey!

We have joined forces with Puget Sound Business Journal to present our second annual seminar geared toward entrepreneurs, startups and emerging-growth companies at Motif Seattle on Wednesday, December 2. The seminar will be focused on the startup journey from idea to exit!

This seminar has been pre-approved for 5.25 general CLE credit hours in Washington.
Discount code available to Keiretsu Forum Members! Email emily@keiretsuforum.com or hasliph@lanepowell.com for the code.

New this year:

• Joe Whinney, Founder and CEO of Theo Chocolate, will serve as the keynote speaker during lunch and provide insight on his startup journey;
• Each attorney will partner with a presenter from the business community to maximize the utility and practicality of the presentations;
• In response to the clear fan-favorite from last year's seminar, the investor panel discussion has been extended to provide even more helpful insights from the local investment community; and
• There will be a networking event following the seminar with complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres at Motif's Frolik Kitchen Cocktails, which will provide attendees with an opportunity to socialize and gain additional access to the presenters and investors.

Topics include:

• Essential IP strategies for startups;
• Naming matters;
• Raising capital, including offering compelling terms for investors without giving away the farm;
• Finding and keeping your key employees;
• Strategies for surviving and achieving (small) victories in contract negotiations with massively larger companies; and
• Preparing for exit.
