UC Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum October 23, 2008

The Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum presents The Current Economic Turmoil and the Entrepreneur:    the Impact on New Venture Financing and Survival Join us for a special edition of the Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum. At our October meeting we will turn to the immediate difficulties of our capital markets and how they impact economic opportunity for today’s emerging entrepreneurs. The Venture Capital model of financing new ventures is struggling. The IPO markets are shut-down and M&A valuations are off significantly. The availability of credit, always in short supply for emerging companies, is tightening. How long will this last? Where are we headed? What should we do? We are assembling a panel of leading economists, venture investors and business leaders to share their views, predictions and advice.
