VC CHECKUP

Case studies, VCs compare and contrast the growth of seemingly healthy companies. What did these companies do right? Where did they go wrong? Which one would be considered a healthier investment and why? Does your company measure up? What healthy habits will make your company a more desirable investment? Growing into a revenue generating company takes more than money. Find out if you pass the VC check up.

A PRESCRIPTION FOR VENTURE SUCCESS

The question is not whether your company will run into issues, but rather will you recognize them, and how will you adjust for success at each stage of growth.  This panel is designed to help life science and healthcare entrepreneurs become venture-ready - with a particular focus on how best to leverage your most important assets:  your patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and other intellectual property.  Bring your issues to the table for diagnosis and our seasoned VCs and IP lawyers will prescribe the best options and how to implement preventive strategies.
