Global Partnering Campaign and Roadshow Preparation
Executive Summary + Tear Sheet
WEDNESDAY (3/15) – 12 PM EDT
This session will cover how to develop a compelling 2-page executive summary and 1-page tear sheet, two of the most important materials to have at the ready for interested investors and licensing partners. While the executive summary covers a deeper dive into your company’s history, product, and management team, the tear sheet can be used to synthesize all of the most important elements of your company in 5-10 minutes (ideal for partners looking to skim through a document).
