The Reverse BioMed Summit - JPM 2026
A high-signal, half-day summit during JPM Week 2026 featuring Reverse Pitches from VCs, a Seed–Series A Founder Showcase, a Biotech & MedTech Industry Insight Panel, and Networking Mixer.
Reverse BioMed Summit (½ Day) is a founder-first, fast-paced summit during JPM Week 2026 built to spark capital connections, highlight emerging BioTech & MedTech breakthroughs, and bring the life sciences ecosystem together.
We flip the script:
Investors pitch founders sharing their thesis, check sizes, and what they’re actively looking to fund.
Then top Seed–Series A teams showcase cutting-edge innovations across BioTech, MedTech, HealthTech, and AI-driven life sciences.
Followed by an Industry Insight Panel and Networking, connecting investors, founders, universities, accelerators, CRO/CDMOs, service providers, and innovation hubs.
A curated, high-signal half-day designed for real conversations, and connections without the noise of this week.
