Technology decisions today rarely live in isolation. They carry legal risk, capital consequences, and long-term operational impact. In this session, David Awad draws on his experience as an investor, attorney, and software engineer to explain how leaders can evaluate technology choices when the cost of being wrong is high.
This talk is about what it means to think about what computers do, and how founders, executives, and investors can better assess technical feasibility, thinking in processes and evaluating and execution risk without being "experts." David shares practical frameworks used in venture capital, private equity, and operating environments to separate signal from noise, ask the right questions, and avoid common failure modes.
This session is designed for leaders who need clarity, not buzzwords, when navigating complex technology decisions.
Raising capital is a milestone, not a finish line. This session focuses on the realities founders face before and after funding, from both the operator and investor perspective.
