This interactive discussion will highlight the nexus between company valuation and intellectual property positions for startups.

Understanding the valuation inflection points is key to maximizing returns to founders, inventors, investors and partnering companies.

Topics:
  • What are the valuation milestones for funding, monetization and exit?
  • How is IP position aligned with corporate value?
  • How is data valued and monetized?
  • What are the value drivers for investors?
  • What are the leading perspectives for M&A and IPOs?
