Why You Should Attend

Perhaps no business segment in modern history has been as much of a mystery to analysts and watchers as the software industry.  In an environment where a great many fail, a few succeed wildly, and some even sell for great prices before even turning a profit, knowing how to properly value a software company can be a challenge at best.

With the latest installment of BVR’s Industry Spotlight Series, expert appraisers Mike Pellegrino (also a former software engineer) and Rob Schlegel will join BVR for “Valuing Software Companies”.  During their 100-minute presentation, Mike and Rob will show what everyone needs to know when approaching a valuation assignment in this turbulent and – at times – seemingly irrational space.
