Successfully raising seed and growth stage capital for Life Science companies

Seed and growth stage company management teams have substantial resources and advice on raising start-up capital in general – but what about the specific concerns of raising money for Life Science companies?  At what stage should the product be for successful fundraising?  How are strategic investors a help or hindrance during early rounds?  Are clinical trials and FDA submissions needed for the funding round?  How critical is intellectual property in the funding round?

Come hear and learn from a seasoned panel of life science company investors including venture capitalists, an angel investor, and a serial life science entrepreneur who successfully raised money for several life science start ups.  Our panel will discuss these and other questions, specifically targeting the needs of fund raising for Life Science companies.  This should be a dynamic and interactive discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing Life Science seed and growth stage companies in Oregon.

Registration is now open!
