A FREE Interactive MIT Enterprise Forum Satellite Broadcast

Presented by:
MIT Club of Maine in cooperation with
University of Maine System Network
Center for Entrepreneurship, School of Business, USM
Finance Authority of Maine

Is your company ready to go public? Now? In a few years? How will you know and what are the steps you can take to be sure you're ready?

Find out from experienced entrepreneurs who have done the due diligence, traveled the road show, and successfully taken their companies public. And hear from the financial side as to what investors are looking for from companies interested in printing stock certificates someday.

Join the MIT Enterprise Forum and the NASDAQ Educational Foundation for our next Global Broadcast. "Are You Ready for IPO" will focus on :

• the issues a company must address before going public,
• the pros and cons of different markets,
• how the current economic landscape can help or hurt your funding strategies, and
• when is the right time for your company to make the move.



Panel:
Jonathan Bush, Co-founder, athenahealth
Jonathan Goldstein, Managing Director, TA Associates
Gail Goodman, President and CEO, Constant Contact
