David Raffa has published the second in a series of blogs on launching, growing and ultimately selling a technology company, with a corporate finance focus. 

His blog will cover:

  • Cap structures
  • Equity plans
  • Financing
  • Corporate partnering
  • Board matters
  • Achieving a successful exit

David is setting out to provide “real, tangible, practical advice on these topics including mistakes to avoid.”

Check out his second blog post, here: www.davidraffa.com/blog/cool-is-not-a-business-model-five-questions-to-ask-before-you-launch-a-startup/

David practiced corporate finance law for 20 years representing numerous BC-based technology companies before retiring to co-found a venture capital fund where he was a partner and portfolio manager for ten years. He now provides corporate finance/M&A advice to a portfolio of early stage companies with a view to growing them to the point where they are ready to exit, and then leading that process.
