In addition to a number of government grants and tax -credits (which were discussed in our previous Lunch & Learn)\, companies can also raise money by dilutive funding. Such an investment should provid e critical funding to the company and raise its value\, but dilutes the ow nership of existing shareholders. For early-stage ventures from university research\, how can you find investors willing to take a risk on a newly f ounded business? And how much ownership should you give away? To guide us through these and other questions we will hear from experts Fadi Albatal a nd Ines Holzbaur.\n\nFadi is the COO of Innovobot - a Montreal-based bouti que investment firm with a focus on deep tech - and is an experienced part icipant at both sides of the financing divide. Ines is the founder and man aging partner of AmorChem\, an early stage venture capital fund. She is al so well-versed in both seeking and awarding financing\, particularly in th e life-science space.\n\nRegistration is now open.\n DTSTART:20240418T160000Z DTEND:20240418T170000Z SUMMARY:MIF Lunch & Learn 15: Finding dilutive funding URL:/innovation/channels/event/mif-lunch-learn-15-find ing-dilutive-funding-356174 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
