MIT Enterprise Forum: Venture and Acquisition Funding – It’s a New Game! January 25, 2012

Event description
Start-up and acquisition funding trends have changed, with quick sales, difficult VC fundraising even for popular industries, and in some cases companies are using almost no VC at all. Join us as Rebecca Lovell of Geekwire moderates our panel of industry insiders that includes Tom Duterme of Groupon, Andy Sack of Lighter Capital, and Dan Shapiro, kept entrepreneur at Google who will tell us where acquisition and venture money is coming from today. They will discuss new venture funding models, provide a framework for understanding how funding in the NW has been transformed, and explain the impact on entrepreneurs and funders.
