Healthcare & Life Sciences CEO VC Salon
Event title: Healthcare & Life Sciences CEO VC Salon
Tagline / subtitle: An evening of real conversation on the state of health tech and life sciences investing.
Description
A private salon for healthcare and life sciences CEOs who have raised institutional capital. Small room, real conversation, no recording, no press.
The evening is built around a focused discussion with Preetha Ram, Managing Partner at Pier 70 Ventures, who invests in early-stage health tech and life sciences. We'll talk through what investors are funding right now, how the bar has shifted for healthcare and bio rounds, and what separates the companies that break out from the ones that stall after their first institutional check.
The room then opens up. Founders share what's actually working, what's stuck, and where they need help. The point of a salon is for the conversation to keep going long after the formal part ends.
Sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).
