About Event

How money comes in, and how founders cash out — OpenFlow Vol. 6 covers the full ride.
(Yes, there will be real In-N-Out. Come hungry.)

We'll open with fresh market insights from ADLM 2026 in Anaheim, then hear from two speakers at opposite ends of the startup journey:

Sinan Gölhan (Founder & CEO, GelTech Labs) on raising $2.5M right out of UCSD — navigating early-stage investors, building a life science robotics company in San Diego, and why fundraising is a permanent part of the job, not a phase.

Paul Manlapig (Director, Wombat Capital) on recent trends in biotech M&A — where valuations stand, who's buying, and how today's deals are structured.

Doors open at 4:00 PM for check-in, networking, and your favorite In-N-Out burgers. Talks begin at 4:30, followed by open networking until 7:00.

Hosted by HiComp. Space is limited — RSVP to save your spot.
