MintzTech Connect: All Things Technology – July 2025

Common ground. In a successful venture capital transaction, the founders and the venture capitalists find common ground so they can work together to build a successful enterprise — listening to the other side, determining what is important to each stakeholder, and balancing the competing economic interests to find mutual success. We see this time and again in our venture capital / emerging companies ecosystem, with the result of creating many successful enterprises. Activity in our world of emerging companies remains robust, in large part by the ability of the various stakeholders to find common ground. As legal counsel, one of our primary jobs is to help facilitate this finding of common ground and to solve problems, not create problems. Imagine a world where we all focused on finding common ground!
