11:30 a.m. Registration; Meeting 12:00 noon – 2:00 p.m.
The Westin (formerly The Governor Morris Hotel), Morristown, NJ
Directions Only - Call Hotel 973-539-7300
Joseph Bartlett will explain how the website www.vcexperts.com and it’s Encyclopedia of Private Equity and VC University
can make you highly efficient and increasingly expert in the venture capital sector … a comprehensive online tutorial on how
to negotiate the deals; value the opportunities; find investment capital; draft the necessary documents; compensate the
managers … and much more.
The Encyclopedia of Private Equity is an empowerment facility. The model documents are a composite of best
practices, edited by a cadre of 75 (and growing) contributing editors from the most prominent law, accounting, consulting and
investment firms in the business . The analysis is accordingly, top-of-the-line and kept current on a real time basis. The
Forums afford professionals the opportunity to interact on difficult issues of contemporary importance. The course materials,
14 streaming video lectures plus self-paced tutorials, are a joint product of VC University and the Cornell Business School,
representing courses offered for credit at the Johnson Business School in the spring and fall semesters.
As part of his presentation, Joe Bartlett will give an update on the fate of the venture finance market today, referencing
common and hither to exotic issues: the unfinanceable ‘walking dead’ company looking at a Series G Round; cleaning house
with Delaware GCL, Section 242(b)(2); the preferred stock you thought you owned; nano-tech … real economics or just a
fashionable label?
