Editor's Notes
- Gents-  Thanks for putting this together. My edits, limited to the end of the 2nd sentence and the addition of a new one to follow it, is to open up the topic a bit and to focus on a high-level discussion about if VC is a path to consider. If there is further interest, a "Do and Don't" topic would be valuable (it could be that no-one wants VC!). Cheers, D.   Business Matters â Obtaining Finance â critical factors for your company. This seminar will present three solutions to the problem of raising capital for your company: venture capital, bank loans and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF) loan program. The focus will be on Venture Capital, with David Shore , a partner in Vancouver based investment-banking firm Stirling Mercantile Corporation, bringing his extensive background and expertise regarding financing for growing companies talking about the pros and cons of being funded by venture capitalists and what the process of raising private capital is like in this economy. The talk will be interactive with a choice of topics for the audience to choose from including VC vs. IPO vs. Debt? VC Term Sheets; What VCs look for and what you should look for from a VC; Preparation for the first pitch; Resources required for private financings; Valuations and Uses of Funds; and more. As well, representatives from the Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation will discuss the different financing options available through their organizations.
- Investment bankers - misnomer. We don't take deposits like banks and generally don't invest. And when we do, we're not call investment bankers, we become merchant bankers. Don't ask me to explain, I didn't come up with it.
