Founder vs Investor: The Honest Truth About Venture Capital
Description:
Elizabeth Zalman and Jerry Neumann wrote a book called "Founder vs Investor: the honest truth about venture capital, from startup to IPO". They square off, exposing the real inside track on how startups are built, broken, and fought over, all because founders and investors never figure out how to work together.
Jerry & Liz will bring this to life in two ways: first, a mediated panel as the two debate a few topics that are startup killers. THEN, they will don inflatable sumo wrestling suits and duke it out live onstage. No joke :)
Founder vs Investor. May the best one win.
