Dragon's Den: Oncology Showcase
Hale House is hosting its first Dragons' Den on Thursday 5 November 2026, and we're opening with oncology.
Shortlisted early-stage oncology startups pitch live to a panel of Dragons from clinical, commercial, legal and investment backgrounds. The audience votes for the winner.
Alongside the pitches, each Dragon gives a brief talk on their specialist area, so you leave with practical insight from people who assess companies like these for a living. Useful whether you're building a health company or backing one.
The format:
Each company has five minutes to pitch, then five minutes of questions
The audience votes for the winner
The winning company takes away a one-hour 1:1 session with every Dragon
