Careful Contracting Talk

Learn strategies for careful contracting as you work with development and investment partners, and hear how investors evaluate your startup’s risk exposure. We'll discuss everything you need to know, from engaging with an engineering firm to ultimately pitching to an investment group. Topics include IP ownership, assignment from engineering firm inventors back to you, how to avoid the traps of viral IP, and what investors want to see in your pitch deck.

When: Thursday, Jan. 25, 12-1:30 p.m
​Where: ​MUB Ballroom B
