Emerging Companies Update (May 2009)
5/22/2009
Welcome to the first edition of Mintz Levin’s Emerging Companies Update. The Update seeks to provide timely information on business and legal issues impacting the emerging business and venture capital communities.
Mintz Levin’s reach is broad, with offices in major technology centers throughout the United States, London and Israel — and you will see a broad sweep of articles as well. In this issue, we cover the current state of venture capital funding, with an interview with leading venture capitalist Bob Davis of Highland Capital Partners. We also take a look at how technology companies can take advantage of three federal stimulus programs. We conclude with two articles on legal developments of interest to all technology companies.
We hope you enjoy the Update! Please let us know your thoughts on the Update together with ideas for future articles and interviews.
