Drinks, Bites, and Tech Insights

April 23, 2025

Cherry Bekaert, Cofounders Capital and Wyrick Robbins invite you to join fellow tech executives in Raleigh for an evening of networking and learning as we present a brief panel discussion on the Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) for technology companies.

The QSBS gain exclusion under Section 1202 is a crucial piece of a C corporation’s tax planning strategy, yet we’ve found there is significant unawareness among tech founders.

To help make sure your technology company is optimizing all possible benefits, we invite you to join us on April 23rd to hear what QSBS could mean for your company and its future. You’ll hear perspectives from an investment, legal, and accounting standpoint, including how to qualify for the benefit.

Plus, you'll have the chance for plenty of networking with fellow tech founders and investors!
