NETSHARE's Experts Connection Teleseminar Tells Executives How to Get Hired by Venture Capital or Private Equity Backed Companies

Novato, CA, October 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The best jobs aren’t necessarily with publicly traded companies. Portfolio company executives and investors can find exciting challenges with companies that are backed with funding from venture capital or private equity. In the next Experts Connection teleseminar, “Private Equity & Venture Capital: Two Views,” Mike Lorelli, CEO of WaterJel Technologies, and Andrew Whiteman, Founding Managing Partner of 2X Consumer Products Growth Partners, will provide alternate views on how to land a job with a company backed by private equity or venture capital. The teleseminar is scheduled for October 28, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT). The Experts Connection teleseminar series for executive career management is sponsored by NETSHARE® (www.netshare.com).

The rules of either landing a job or getting funding from either a private equity firm or a VC firm are not complex, but they are important to understand. If you blunder in with the wrong pitch or the wrong perspective, you will lose the interview before you have a chance to explain what you have to offer. In this 90-minute presentation, Andy Whitman will provide the venture backer’s viewpoint on what they are looking for in a C-level executive, and Mike Lorelli will talk about what it takes to get hired by private equity or VC firms.

During the teleseminar, attendees will learn:

Key terminology, so you can talk to VCs and private equity backers in their own language;
How to assess the source of the investors’ money;
The different types of venture capital and private equity firms;
How funds are invested;
How to work with investors;
How to assess compensation;
The impact of VC and PE on management, and;
The economics of equity.

“The old adage ‘follow the money’ is as important in hiring and career management as it is in funding a new venture,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. “This Experts Connection teleseminar provides the dual perspective of investors looking to hire experienced managers, and executives who love getting hired by investors. Those who attend will come away with a better understanding of how to present themselves as an indispensable asset that can help start-up companies bloom.”

The Experts Connection teleseminar series gives executives access to leading career experts. The cost of the seminar is $60, $50 for NETSHARE members, and access is provided via web and telephone. For more information, visit the Experts Connection online at www.experts-connection.com.
