/ About this event

The pitch opens the door. Diligence decides what happens next.

You've seen it: the pitch is strong, the term sheet is close, and then diligence surfaces something that costs three weeks and a chunk of leverage.

Join us for a focused 2.5-hour forum hosted by LNB Accounting, co-hosted by Hanson Bridgett, and featuring Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management during SF Tech Week.

Founders will learn what to prepare. Investors will learn what to evaluate before the next financing, liquidity event, or strategic transaction.

Three companies. Three perspectives. 45 minutes each.

• Morgan Stanley explores the evolving capital and liquidity landscape. • Hanson Bridgett covers the issues of differing financing types for startups, and how to prepare for diligence on the differing types. • LNB Accounting demonstrates how Financial Due Diligence can move from a request list to an evidence-linked, decision-ready review.

This is not a panel marathon. It is a curated founder–funder conversation designed for practical insight, direct participation, and high-value connections.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
