What Every Inventor Needs to Know Before Saying Yes to Investors

Emerging Companies & Venture Capital Partner, Alon Y. Kapen, was a guest on the National Inventor Club’s monthly meeting with Brian Fried, discussing “What Every Inventor Needs to Know Before Saying Yes to Investors.”

This session broke down what inventors and entrepreneurs need to know before seeking outside investment, including whether investors are the right path or if there are better options to consider first. Alon and Brian discuss whether the investment process is really like what we see on Shark Tank, the legal documents that protect founders, what inventors should have prepared before pitching, licensing and other alternatives when outside investment is not the right fit, the journey from a single product to a full brand or IPO, and the best resources for today’s inventors and entrepreneurs.
