Palm Computing, Inc. 1995: Financing Challenges
By: Myra M. Hart and Stephanie Dodson
Abstract
The president, Donna Dubinsky, and the chairman and founder, Jeff Hawkins, discuss an opportunity to sell their company to U.S. Robotics. They must weigh this option versus accepting venture capital funding, partnering with a large company that could provide distribution channels and capital, or continuing a search for capital from other sources.
