NEW SPEAKER ADDED!
Annual Retreat Keynote: "Vision Without Execution is Just Hallucination"
Marzio Pozzuoli is the founder and former CEO of RuggedCom; a networking communications company he started in the basement of his home and led to profitability within 18 months following the close of a single $4 million VC round. Under his leadership RuggedCom became the dominant market leader for Smart Grid communications with a greater than 50% market share. The company went public in 2007 and was named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 as one of the fifty fastest growing technology companies in Canada for six consecutive years. The company was acquired by Siemens in 2012 for approximately $440 million giving VC's and early investors a better than 20x return.
Currently, Marzio is the CEO & Co-Founder of NuraLogix Corporation, which is an advanced technology company combining neuroscience and machine learning developing technology that can detect invisible/hidden human emotions based on the science of facial blood flow.

So you want to sell your company? Ok, so Google hasn't appeared with a $500 million dollar unsolicited bid for your company but you've been seeing interest around your company and the general space, what's next? In this workshop I will cover the process we went through from the discussion that led to the process, selection of an investment banker through development of the circular, selection of companies, due diligence and the share purchase agreement process. A soup to nuts view from a company that believed the time was right to reach into the market and drive a process.
