VC Co-Working Day & Panel: Biotech Entrepreneurship & Global Capital Ecosystems
We invite you to the third installment of our monthly series designed to bring together NYC’s Pre-Seed to Series A investors in biotech and life sciences for meaningful discussions and curated co-working.
10:30 AM - 5:30 PM: VC Co-Working Day (Investors only)
We are opening up our office to investors in our network and yours for informal working time and deeper one-on-one conversations. We have plenty of desks in our open-office space for you to settle in, as well as private huddle rooms available throughout the day if you need to take calls or hold meetings.
The day will close with an exciting panel discussion on Biotech Entrepreneurship & Global Capital Ecosystems, which is being sponsored by Empire State Development. Startups and collaborators also will be invited to attend the panel discussion. Inspired by Nucleate Signal’s report “Built from Within: How Local Capital Shapes Global Biotech Hubs”, we’ll explore how diverse players across the biotech ecosystem can collaborate to unlock more capital at the earliest stages–what’s working, what’s missing, and practical steps to strengthen ecosystems. We’ll spotlight how founders, investors, research institutions, infrastructure providers, and policy partners can work together to accelerate early-stage innovation. Our partner, Puerto Rico Science, Technology, and Research Trust, and founders from Puerto Rico’s life science ecosystem, startups, and collaborators also will be joining.
