This program is for Trailblazer Members of BIG and companies who have revenue in excess of $2M. We have limited seating, so priority will be given to BIG Trailblazer members.
No Man’s Land is a term that describes the transition period for a growth company. Successful entrepreneurs that start and lead growth companies experience this period that can threaten their very survival.
The keynote speaker for this event is Doug Tatum. Doug is a recognized expert on the capital markets and the entrepreneurial growth economy. He has testified before the U.S. Congress on numerous occasions about the financing challenges growing companies face and about U.S. tax policy. He has been keynote speaker at the Securities Exchange Commission Forum. Doug speaks extensively throughout the world, presenting the research and frameworks included in his book No Man’s Land: Where Growing Companies Fail.
For an entrepreneur to successfully transition his or her company four key areas must be a clear focus. We describe these actions as the 4 M’s and they will be addressed:
- Marketing – maintaining important customer relationships
- Management – objective review
- Model - maintaining margins
- Money – adequate capitalization
Some questions that will be addressed:
- What's the probability that you're stuck at current growth level?
- How much risk is in your business and what's the risk to your personal wealth?
- What is your company worth? Do you scale or sell?
- What is the optimal size for your business?
You will also hear from 4 very knowledgeable and highly accomplished CEOs - sharing real growth issues they face as well as different perspectives and personal experiences:
