Funding a Technology Startup: An Insight into the World of Venture Capital
Presented by Tom Weithman, Managing Director, CIT GAP Funds
Current economic conditions present unique business financing challenges. The collapse of capital markets had significant impact on credit markets and private equity. Against the backdrop of negative factors there are several opportunities resulting from large stimulus packages and economic re-alignments. How have these events impacted the world of venture capital? What are the implications for an early stage company seeking funding?

• The role of VC’s and the VC landscape
• VC business models
• Flavors of VC investments
• VC’s investment criteria and objectives
• Typical investment lifecycle
• Main players in the Washington, D.C., metro area
• The uniqueness of the Washington, D.C., area
