Description
Align Technology CEO Thomas Prescott discusses the financing history of the company from its inception to initial product launch. Prescott points out a historical difference indicative of the roaring 1990's - namely, $280 million in financing before the company turned a profit. Today, virtual product models and increased pressure on profitability would make this heavy financial front-loading difficult to achieve.
