TSLCC events provide an unparalleled opportunity for the global investing community to learn more about the rapidly expanding marketplace for private company stock and the integral role this marketplace is playing in facilitating small business capital and job creation. Attendees will gain great insight into the recent legislative proposals impacting the capital markets. Additionally, attendees will meet senior executives of this market’s potential bellwether companies and demo their game-changing technologies.

He is also Chairman and CEO of Capital Markets Advisory Partners, the firm that specializes in equity capital markets advice to issuers. He is a former Vice Chairman and executive committee member of The NASDAQ Stock Market who had line responsibility for the global listings businesses of NASDAQ. David and co-author Ed Kim are noted for their work that was first to identify how changes in stock market structure are harming capital formation and job growth in the United States. Their studies (Why are IPOs in the ICU?; Market structure is causing the IPO crisis – and more; A wake up call for America) have been cited in over 100 articles including The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Financial Times. These studies have also been cited by Congressmen, Senators and the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, including most recently in the Interim Report of the White House’s Job Council led by Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of General Electric, and the IPO Task Force report to the U.S. Treasury led by Kate Mitchell, former Chairman of the National Venture Capital Association. David was also a member of the NYSE and NVCA’s (National Venture Capital Association) Blue Ribbon Panel to restore liquidity in the US venture capital industry and his work was cited in the NVCA’s final report. David has testified in Congress and at the CFTC-SEC Joint Panel on Emerging Regulatory Issues. Prior to NASDAQ, David spent 14 years at Prudential Securities in senior management roles, including President of PrudentialSecurities.com, Head of Corporate Finance, Head of Technology Investment Banking and Head of Global Equity Capital Markets.

Vince Molinari, CEO of GATE Technologies, a leading private company exchange platform.

His vision is based on a core belief that actionable knowledge and information drive investments, and that technology can close the gap between traditional and emerging alternative markets. Mr. Molinari, who acted as an expert witness at the recent congressional hearings aimed at facilitating small business capital formation and job creation, will be discussing how the recent bipartisan legislation passed by House will improve private-company capital formation.
