Health Care IT M&A: Surviving the Valley of Death

It is the Healthcare IT Entrepreneurs’ Dilemma.

In order to become a Unicorn, you either have to survive or take a long detour around the Valley of Death, that strange netherworld where the value of your company can actually drop once you become marginally profitable.

As counter-intuitive as that may seem, it is strangely logical once you realize that valuation – especially in technologically innovative sectors – is rooted far more in “behavioral economics” than rigorous math.

In this session, we explore the phases of value a health IT company can anticipate and the challenges – and opportunities – it may face as it moves through them.

Expect an energetic and interactive session, with more points of view than PowerPoints.
