End to End Investment Management Workshop

This workshop will bring our Investment Process Guide to life, covering the steps in the investment process from when you’ve seen a company pitch at one of our Members Meetings, to when a deal is closed and you’ve invested money. It is a summary of the stages in the process and complements our other workshops (e.g. syndicate coordination, appropriate DD for different business models, valuation, term sheets, post-investment management etc.) that go into depth on a specific stage or issue. It will describe the tools (e.g. Gust, Trello board, guides and templates) and support we provide to help your syndicate, as well as the things we plan to do to help the founders of the company you are considering investing in. It will provide guidance for your syndicate on how to strike an appropriate balance between work and risk during the due diligence and term sheet stages, based on the maturity of the company and the nature of the deal.

We will cover: IP rights. Registered and unregistered IP. How do you establish the ownership of the IP (it can be a terrible mistake to invest in a company that does not own or have rights to the IP being exploited)? How can IP protection be used to add value to a business? Different businesses have different IP requirements and risks. We will look at different types of business. We will take a look at different IP strategies that may be applied. Which is appropriate for your investment? What steps should a start-up take to protect their IP, given the limited resources available? How do you keep IP protection options open for low cost? Other peoples IP. What do you need to be aware of and what risks are involved? Could your investment infringe other’s IP? How do you find out?
