David Shore

David Shore focuses on helping technology companies develop and execute financing plans. See David's Bio here. This page is also available in PDF format.

He works quickly to develop all the materials VCs look for including clear and concise business plans and PowerPoint presentations and very detailed financial models that articulate the vision of the management team.

David has worked with all Vancouver based venture capitalists that focus on categories other than life sciences. Working with them he has learned their deal preferences and what is important to not only capture their attention but also structure a deal that will result in a ongoing productive relationship going forward.

Mr. Shore has discussed these concepts to business organizations and company boards in formats that range from 10 minute forum introductions to 45 minute presentations to half day workshops.

·        Your Clear and Concise Company Description (best as interactive workshop)

·        Elevator Pitch Tips
·        VC Vs. IPO Vs. Debt?
