In this 60-minute session, venture capital firm 77 Partners demystifies how early stage investment actually works - so you can see where tech, founders and investors intersect, and how IP professionals like you can add and realise long term value.

You’ll learn:

Bringing IP to Life: Why founders form startups, raise capital and iterate rapidly, and what it ultimately takes for tech ventures to achieve their full potential;
Venture Investment in Plain English: How angel groups, deal syndicates and venture capital funds are structured, and where individual investors fit in;
Your Advantage as Women in IP: Why patent, trademark and legal expertise uniquely position you to identify and support high growth ventures;
Building Growth Networks: How connecting with the VC ecosystem can grow both your professional community and future opportunity set;
Beyond Advisory: What barriers exist to participating in the unbounded upside potential of ventures, and how to navigate these.

Who it’s for
Women across the IP landscape - patent/trade mark attorneys, IP lawyers, in-house counsel and adjacent tech and commercialisation professionals - curious about the innovation and venture journey and how investment can empower those who participate in it.
