What Every Inventor Needs to Know Before Saying Yes to Investors

National Inventor Club Monthly Meeting Wednesday, June 24th | 7pm EDT | 6pm CDT | 4pm PDT Live Stream — All Welcome, Free Event What Every Inventor Needs to Know Before Saying Yes to Investors Most inventors say they are looking for funding but have no idea what they are actually asking for, what they need to present, or what they are agreeing to. This month we are breaking it all down with someone who lives this every single day. Founder of National Inventor Club and the Inventor Coach Brian Fried sits down with Alon Y. Kapen, Partner at Farrell Fritz, one of Long Island's most trusted attorneys for entrepreneurs, startups, and emerging growth companies. Alon has guided countless founders through raising capital, structuring deals, and building businesses from the ground up and he is bringing all of that knowledge straight to our community. Here is what we are covering: → Do you actually need outside investors or are there better options first? → Friends and family, angel investors, seed funding and venture capital and what each one really means → What investors actually want to see before they say yes → How deals get structured and what inventors are really signing → How much equity should you give up and what is too much? → How do you put a value on your idea before it makes a dollar? → Shark Tank is great TV but is that how it really works? → What legal documents protect you as a founder → What inventors need to have ready before they pitch anyone → Licensing and other smart paths if outside investment is not right for you → From one product to a full brand to an IPO and what that journey really looks like → The best resources Alon recommends for inventors and entrepreneurs today No matter what stage you are at this is a conversation every inventor needs to hear. Bring your questions and Brian and Alon will be taking them live. 🗓 Wednesday, June 24th 🕖 7pm EDT | 6pm CDT | 4pm PDT 🎙 Hosted by Brian Fried, The Inventor Coach 📍 National Inventor Club Live Stream Free to attend.
