BOOTSTRAPPING:  Making More Progress with Less
Thurs., May 28, 7am - 9am, Hyatt Regency La Jolla

Sponsored by Morrison & Foerster LLP, Roth Capital Partners, and Mission Ventures LP


Some of the best wines come from the most stressed vines growing in the most challenging terrain!

...And the same can be said for many of our successful San Diego life science and technology companies today.  During past periods of significant downturn they found ways of trimming back their activities, creating a new focus and sense of managed urgency.  At the same time, they needed to find creative ways of bringing in capital to keep their companies alive.  However, in many cases the sources of capital were not necessarily the traditional ones.  Find out how they not only survived, but flourished – and how you can too.

Attend our May 28th breakfast program to hear from a successful company, a serial board member and chairman, and a seasoned Washington, DC lobbyist to find out how to be one of the companies who successfully emerge from this downturn stronger than before!

•        Listen to their experiences and see how they may relate to situations you are facing today.

•        Learn what worked and what did not -- and how their lessons learned may impact the choices you will face over the next 12-24 months.

•        Hear how the new administration in our nation’s capital and the stimulus packages have created pockets of available non dilutive financing.

•        Ask questions that are relevant to your situation – whether you are in the tech or life sciences sector.

Don’t miss this program. Learn how to not only strategically navigate this new environment, but how to take advantage of the ups and downs to create momentum for your company!
