A critical component to mitigating risk for public shareholders is the need for companies to install best-practices as early as possible in their company formation. David brings simple, cost effective solutions for companies who need to mitigate risk in the two most critical areas of an emerging company - Directors & Officers, and Human Resources (Employee) Liabilities.

He is responsible for building new client relationships with wealthy individuals, families and their related business and philanthropic entities in Northern California. He comes to Zurich Scudder with over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. Prior to joining Scudder Private Investment Counsel, David was the Regional Vice President, Private Asset Management, for Neuberger Berman, focusing on the Silicon Valley area.

The Personal Wealth Journey

David will speak on the entrepreneur's Personal Wealth Journey. This is the only presentation focused, not on the early-stage firm, but the individual. According to Ernst & Young, 75% of executives surveyed do not have a personal wealth management plan. Executives are introduced to the world of private wealth management and the benefits of planning early to mitigate tax liabilities from major liquidity events. Smart wealth management requires a professional to navigate the complex, jargon rich environment that includes trusts, personal foundations, philanthropy, off shore strategies, and much more. He leaves the audience with a strategy for developing their mission statement for their money and how to gain the best long-term return for their family and other beneficiaries.

Gain an unfair advantage in overcoming the investor's secret weapon for screening your deal out fast. Position of for success the first time, or be positioned out of the game by the investor in seconds.

Equity Marketing Raises Capital Faster

Today the CEO is facing a complex equity marketing problem. Not only must the company figure out how to develop a solid, venture-ready deal (equity product) and communicate its uniqueness (position), the CEO must also find smart money investors (placement), and sell the deal at the right price without losing it. Using the wrong marketing and sales strategy to get to the right customer can be a fatal mistake. Yet, the basic marketing tools used to sell any product apply to selling equity. Robert will introduce a equity roadmap tool which quickly identifies the most critical issues from the unique vantagepoint of the venture investor. Can be used to gauge the time to money for companies that are early in the development process.
