Abstract

Running a start-up company requires managing multiple issues, of which financing strategies would be one of the utmost fundamental elements you wish to spend efforts on. This webinar will share MIT’s practice and real case studies on early financing for start-ups (e.g. non-dilutive funding, stock dilution, etc.) and tips for attracting investment, which would be a crucial session, especially for new entrepreneurs and start-up-founder-to-be.
