Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is pleased to sponsor LaunchBio’s Larger Than Life Science Series: Holding the Line, Engaging Investors and Budgeting Wisely.  Business budgeting is one of the most useful financial tools available to any startup. However, during an economic slowdown, founders are likely struggling to manage week-to-week financials and finding time to do any short- or long-range financial planning is tough. Randy Schreckhise, co-founder of August Therapeutics will discuss budgeting strategies and using cash wisely during challenging times.  He will focus on how to create milestone-based budgets that can help move a business forward and keep investors engaged.

Curt Becker from the UC San Diego School of Business will contribute to this session by discussing new normal leadership skills.  He will present ideas on how to engage with investors and effectively lead a team in this new normal environment.
