About the 2009 WORKSHOP SERIES :

 


Every year medical device companies that start as “three technologists and a couple of patents” are acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars. You may be surprised to learn that not only does much of this activity occur right here in Orange County but also that the underlying process of preparing a company for acquisition is a well understood business methodology that can be learned, mastered and applied over and over. As a business student or UC Irvine technologist, you will want to know how the process of positioning a medical device company for acquisition works, how long it typically takes, who you need to involve, what the keys are to raising investment funds and how you can you can apply this process to your personal situation.

The objective of this year’s Les Kilpatrick Students to Start-ups series is to provide business students and UC Irvine technologists with a broad understanding of the 60 to 84 month process of preparing a medical device company for acquisition enabling them to begin factoring this powerful wealth creation mechanism into their career strategy.
