HOW SECONDARY FIRMS ARE HELPING DOT-COM ERA FUNDS STAY IN THE GAME
In 1999 alone, 96 new venture funds were raised. Fast forward 10 years, and those same funds are nearing the end of their investment periods. Some of those firms are looking to jettison those old holdings, while others are looking for ways to keep those portfolios alive. Both have new options of which they may not be aware. Please join us to hear from a panel of pros from the secondary business explaining the ins and outs of stapled commitments, syndicated deals and strip sales, among other options. Breakfast and coffee will be served.
