Can the choice of corporate structure make a difference in achieving your start up goals?
On Dec. 7th, hear from unconventional founders Jen Horonjeff, CEO public employee benefits cooperative Savvy Cooperative, and Ethan Perlstein, CEO public benefit corporation Perlara, as they share their insights on building a successful bio company through thoughtful use of structure.
