4 In Partnership With 2015 MEETING AGENDA The Official TXLSF Investing Portal You Can t Always Get What You Want The Rolling Stones have long understood this concept, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need. You may already have a path carved out for your company, but after considering these sessions, focused on the latest trends in healthcare, medtech, biopharma and consumer health, you could have reason to view things differently. Presenting Sponsor

5 In Partnership With 2015 MEETING AGENDA The Official TXLSF Investing Portal The Times They Are A-changin Even Bob Dylan couldn t have predicted the changes to the financing environment. A number of alternative funds have been filling the gap left by traditional VC firms. Big companies are creating their own corporate venture funds and incubators to directly invest in earlier stage development as an alternative to traditional inhouse R&D. Foundations, nonprofits, and venture philanthropists are investing in companies. Even the JOBS Act has made the emergence of IPOs and crowdfunding a meaningful way to obtain early stage funds.
