Flatiron founding partner, Lennie Nuara, will be hosting a workshop, called “Legal Tech without Legal Tech”, where he will give the audience a peak under the hood at how Flatiron has successfully mechanized the deal process. Lennie will show how to create state-of-the-art, robust, flexible, creative and secure digital legal workspaces using only commercially available SaaS platforms and desktop tools – without enormous investments.
Flatiron founding partner, Conrad Everhard, is a featured speaker on a ShareVault webinar panel next Thursday May 18 on fundraising for startups.
As an entrepreneur who has raised capital and a lawyer who advises entrepreneurs on raising capital, he will have a lot of wisdom to share about raising money.
Conrad spoke on US in-bound M&A and on-shoring best practices and trends. He was joined by Jacob “Jake” Fisch among others. Many thanks to Ning Zhang and our frequent collaborators, CB Counselors, for sponsoring the event and giving us this opportunity.
