As part of our Highland Summer Entrepreneurship program we pulled together an extensive Startup School Curriculum consisting of focused discussions by entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs and Highland's investment team sharing their stories, lessons learned, insights, experiences and unique perspectives. Understanding terms and structure is critical for effectively raising a round of capital. Just as important is to be fully cognizant of the all-important legal issues in hiring your team. http://www.hcp.com/content79765 The CEOs of Hangout Industries and Virtual Computer presented at Highland on August 4th as part of the 2009 Summer@Highland program.
