SUCCESS STORY #1: Venture Funding

BiPar Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development
of novel cancer drugs raised $12.5M in a Series A Preferred financing in
November 2004. The deal was sourced at AmBAR by Asset Management Company
which later offered the company a term sheet and built a syndicate of
investors.

SUCCESS STORY #2: Acquisition by Microsoft
DB Best Technologies

We will talk about the DBBest story: how a couple of software engineers
built a technology company from conception to acquisition by Microsoft. We
