MEMBERS-ONLY RECORDING
Join us for a panel discussion on current trends in venture capital investing and emerging asset classes in alternative investments.
The panel will cover venture capital investing in this late market cycle. Market dynamics seem to indicate that there is more dry powder than available opportunities. Have we gotten to a point where new capital sources such the Vision Fund from Softbank is raising pre-money valuation of all venture deals? Where are we in the technology innovation cycle? Are we just scratching the surface of AI, biotech discoveries, and IoT or have we reached a plateau of early investment opportunities?
In addition, we will cover emerging alternative investments and ways to exploit them for profit and cash flow. The panelists will cover life settlement investments from cash flow and capital gains perspective and introduce cash flow strategies from intellectual properties such as recorded media and music.
