EXPERT WEBINAR: Insurance for New Ventures—What Do You Need and Why?

Password: 111682

When starting a new company, entrepreneurs do not rank insurance high on the list of issues they consider, focusing instead on funding, hiring key employees, developing technology and products. However, insurance coverage is typically required for the following key milestones at the earliest stages of a company’s development:

• Closing a venture capital round
• Signing a lease
• Licensing agreements
• Hiring employees
• Purchasing and shipping equipment or product
• Customer contracts
• Beta testing a product
• Clinical trials

Insurance does not need to be difficult, but it requires experience to navigate this space without delays and frustration. In this webinar, Steve Sawyer will cover the basic insurance needs of new ventures in the Tech and Life Science industries. More importantly, he will outline the key issues to anticipate as a company grows and reaches key milestones, and the value of designing an appropriate insurance and risk management program for current and future needs.
