DLA VENTURE PIPELINE

Raising capital requires preparation and a well-conceived game plan. DLA Piper doesn't approach the task of fundraising merely from a legal viewpoint, but from the perspective of the funding sources. Working closely with the investment community, they regularly see what types of deals attract funding. Using this knowledge, the Venture Pipeline team actively helps management teams prepare for the fundraising process. Their objective is to work with clients before their plan is sent out - to optimize their potential for raising funds. When ready, using directed resources both within the firm and externally in the community, the group helps their early-stage technology clients target and raise smart capital.
