Pitch. Protect. Grow. - Helping neurotech founders protect their IP, find the right space, and build their team.
Turning a neurotech idea into a company means making big decisions early: protecting your IP, finding the right lab or tech space, and hiring your first people. Pitch. Protect. Grow. brings the experts who can help in one room for a day.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re starting a company or want to support those who are.
What’s on
Expert fireside conversations on IP, lab space, tech space and recruitment, with two specialists per topic
“Ask the Experts” roundtables where you bring your own questions to small groups and get specific answers
Panel discussion with all eight experts, shaped by the questions raised during the day
Founder Challenge workshop where you work in teams through a realistic 90-day post-seed scenario
Networking with people from across the neurotech ecosystem
Who should come
The day is designed to enable aspiring and early-stage neurotech founders to network and learn from established founders and other members of the neurotech community.
You’ll get plenty out of the day if you are:
An aspiring or early-stage founder
A researcher or academic thinking about commercialising your work
An investor, mentor or adviser working with early-stage companies
A service provider, supplier or space provider supporting founders
A student or early-career professional curious about the neurotech ecosystem
Anyone who wants to connect with the next generation of neurotech founders
What you’ll leave with
Clear, practical guidance on protecting your IP, securing space and building a team
Access to the Reccy Neuro Ecosystem Map and Connect Health Tech, to find people and events in the community
