PVCA Fireside Chat: Corporate Acquisition of Startups

There is no lack of media coverage of startups as they raise capital, flame out or are acquired. However, for those who are acquired the story rarely ends there. Mike Formica will lead a conversation with fellow entrepreneurs about the evolution of their companies post-acquisition and the new challenges presented as they shift from a startup to a corporate culture. This lively discussion will cover the often circuitous path of a startup from ideation to funding to exit. Joining Mike will be Aaron Morris and Parag Batavia. Between the 3 of them they have sold 5 advanced technology companies that were conceived and built in Pittsburgh.
