Program | True Confessions of an Entrepreneur Turned Investor: Fireside Chat with Dennis Depenbusch

Gain valuable funding insights from a digital health investor who has been on both sides – as an entrepreneur seeking capital and as an investor allocating funds.

Tap into Dennis’s unique perspective for an insider’s look at successfully securing investment for your next innovative idea.

If you’re in the early stages of building your company, this is a session you won’t want to miss. Sign up today to explore questions like:

  • What is the current fundraising environment? Who gets funded and why?
  • How do investors really think, and what are their challenges we should know about? (Hint: We all report to someone.)
  • How to build your investor network? (You start building the relationship when you are asking for the check, right? Hint: No!)
  • What is the best way to use conferences and community events to advance your business? (The JPMorgan conference is just like any other conference, right? Hint: No!)
  • How do you qualify an investor as a good partner? If you were raising money who would you choose and why?
  • Lessons from the startup grave: What are tragic flaws that you have seen, and how can we avoid them?
  • The smartest things you have seen: What have been some pro moves, and how can we replicate them?
