Dealmakers Playbook
Join North Bank Innovations on June 23rd, 6-8pm, for
The Dealmaker’s Playbook
presented by Chris Croteau (C3)
Founders negotiate constantly.
Partners, investors, vendors, acquirers. Most of the time you’re making it up as you go.
This workshop is about moving from reactive to strategic, so every deal you cut actually builds the business instead of just closing the immediate gap. C3 has spent three decades turning handshakes into outcomes. In 90 minutes, he’ll walk you through the full deal lifecycle, from initial strategic alignment through legal close, and show you where value gets created and where it gets destroyed. You’ll leave with a framework to evaluate opportunities before you’re already committed, and to protect yourself from agreements that look good on close day but crater long-term.
