Our goal? If you are active in the venture capital sector, we want to provide you with pragmatic insights from industry experts, and to do this in a few short interactive workshops of 1.5 hours.
How? By providing a 360° approach of each topic, addressing them from a financial, tax and legal perspective, and by focusing on practical cases, lessons learned and best practices, we intend to create a real added value for our participants. These workshops will provide the opportunity to interact, share views, network with their peers and bring home some key take-aways and best practices.
Extra: a guest keynote speaker notorious in the VC sector will take part in each session.
In practice: to the extent permitted by the sanitary context, each session is a "live" event (accessible by videoconference as well) with a closing lunch.
When? 4 sessions will be organised in the coming months. The first session will take place on Thursday 7 October 2021, and will focus on the topic of "Employee Stock Options Plan". The following session will respectively focus on the following topics:
