Panel Presentation: “Creating Upside in a
Downturn Economy”: Fundraising Survival
Tips For Your Start-Up”
Panel Moderator: Nguyen X. Nguyen, Ph.D.
Founder and CEO, Cosemi Technologies, Inc.

For entrepreneurs and start-ups in the Vietnamese American
community still grappling with the global economic downturn of
2008-2009, the Year of the Tiger may bring more questions. How
can they best position their businesses to attract the venture
capitalist or angel investor in 2010? What can be salvaged from
traditional investor bases? What and who are the “new” sources
of financing? How about government-sponsored innovation
resources, such as the SBA? How can a business take advantage
of emerging trends and market such as the “green and clean”
technologies, or the new markets like China or Vietnam?
Our distinguished Panel will offer their insights on how to both
manage your company’s expectations for 2010, while taking
advantage of the investment and funding opportunities that still
exist for the entrepreneurs and startups willing to adapt to the
new economic realities:
