Fundraising Strategy for Health & Biotech Founders
Join us for an interactive session designed for health and biotech startups.
This event is intended for founders who are early in their fundraising journey and want to sharpen their strategy.
We’ll address the topics you bring to the discussion, including:
How founders are making it work in challenging fundraising markets and the age of accelerating AI
Making the most of incubators, accelerators, and founder communities
Trials & pilots that attract funding
How to balance angels investors, venture capital, non-dilutive funding, grants, and strategic partnerships
Rather than a panel format, this will be an participatory session where founders will break into multiple small group discussions with experienced advisors, angels, VCs, and industry experts to share their questions and get direct feedback.
