The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
We are thrilled to support The L Suite’s 2026 TechGC Unicorn Offsite, a 3-day event for experienced legal and business leaders from late-stage technology companies. This offsite focuses on how experienced legal leaders exercise judgment as they guide high-growth companies through key inflection points.
During “The Last Raise: Aligning Capital and Company Readiness” fireside chat, partner Melissa Rick, Mark Liu, General Counsel & Secretary at AppDirect, and Beth Stevens, Chief Legal Officer at Sword Health, will share practical guidance for General Counsels advising boards and executive teams.
Partner Jonie Ing Kondracki will co-lead a group discussion on “IPO Readiness Decisions Legal Leaders Underestimate” with Tom Kaweski, Vice President, Legal at Kong.
This event is by invitation for L Suite Members only.
