We are excited to announce TD Shepherd as a partner of High-Tech Venture Days 2025 (HTVD25).
HTVD is a matchmaking event that brings together three main groups: startups, investors (especially venture capital firms, corporate venture arms, etc.), and established companies (corporates).
HTVD occupies a useful niche in the startup / investor ecosystem, especially for deep-tech and industrial innovation, where the paths to commercialization are often longer and more capital intensive. It’s designed as an event where younger tech ventures can gain exposure, pitch to investors, connect with potential corporate partners, and ultimately accelerate their growth.
Our partnership with HTVD is a valuable opportunity. We look forward to creating mutual benefits throughout this partnership journey.
When people talk about “pillars of fundraising,” they often assume there’s one universal list. However, there is no single universal set of pillars in fundraising. Different fundraising experts describe different four-pillar models, each with its own logic and purpose.
Many founders who receive a Non-Binding Offer consider it a big achievement. Especially after months or years of development, a potential acquirer looks like a sign that hard work is bearing fruit. But being excited sometimes may lead founders to make mistakes.
A successful deep-tech M&A transaction requires more than just buying and selling — it requires unique insights that no ‘typical’ advisor should have access to. The success of such a complex deal hinges on knowing how new technologies relate to other technologies, IP, and current & future market trends.
