UC Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum Thursday, September 20, 2001 6:30 - 8:30 PM Haas School of Business Arthur Andersen Auditorium __________________________________________________________________ Topic: The Window Cracks Open: IPOs in the 2001 Market Speakers: James Socas, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston; Stephen R. Wong, CEO, President & Co-Founder, Embarcadero Technologies, Raj P. Sabhlok, Sr VP, Finance & Development, Embarcadero Technologies. What is the health of the public markets today? Is it possible for young companies to go public in this environment? It is no secret that we are in the midst of a severe contraction in start-up funding. Venture capitalists are reserving cash to support their existing portfolio and to invest in later round financings. When will this situation free up? Will a revived public market make start-up financing more available? Our September 20th U.C. Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum will feature an expert in the current IPO market and the CEO and VP of Finance of a firm that has recently completed the IPO process.
