11 months ago
Speakers: Charles Plant, MaRS Advisor


We know what you want: money.

Now, you probably think that a VC will give you money and leave you alone. Sorry, it’s not that simple. In this lecture at we look at:

- How VCs make money
- What they want in return for their money
- How they structure deals

Charles Plant is an entrepreneur who has been on all sides of the funding equation, from banker, to technology entrepreneur to angel, investment banker and now on the Investment Accelerator Fund Management Committee. He takes you through the steamy underside of VC deals, what some call “The Art of the Deal” -- he’ll show you “The Art of the Steal.”
