Making your pitch: what do VCs want to see from companies?

Crises can reveal weaknesses and the spread of the coronavirus pandemic has made clear the lack of visibility many businesses had into their suppliers and manufacturers and exposed the fragility of their supply chains.

To continue on the path of recovery, businesses must react rapidly to hiccups in its networks. Product companies need to take a hard look at their current supply chain strategies and change them if necessary or risk putting the business in jeopardy. Meticulous planning and real-time data are secrets to timely decision-making.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

- Supply chain vulnerabilities and lessons learned from COVID-19 breakdowns
- Top techniques for building resilient supply chain
- How to reduce risks and interruptions for the future

- Build resilience and create momentum for their business.
- Share information and collaborate—even when everyone works remotely.
