Speaker Sean Simpson - Investment Manager, GM Ventures

Moderator Valerie Sathe Brugeman - Senior Project Manager, Center for Automotive Research

The increasing appetite to invest in “sexy” auto tech start-ups raises questions about how to really value these disruptive technologies. Will they live up to the hype?
Understand where investors are looking over the next 6-12 months to make a profit in the next 5-10 years
Assess the role start-ups should play in your ADAS/AV strategy e.g. filling a gap or bringing new resources to the table
Identify the hurdles to working with start-ups - from how to invest to operating models to points of integration - to put together an informed strategy
