If you are going to San Francisco

Gradleware has successfully closed its funding process this year. I learned a lot during this time and would like to share my insights about the do's and don'ts. In this session I will talk about: - How to pitch a business model that is based on open source technology and developer tooling? - The advantages of moving the business headquarters to the bay area. - The advantages of having a VC from the bay area. - How to manage the funding process in the bay area when you are not based there? - What makes a good VC? - The virtues of initial organic growth. - Organizations that can provide valuable help.
