Executive Insights Series: Creating a Story that Resonates with Investors

The Executive Insights Series helps life science leaders move from idea to impact faster and with greater confidence. Designed for early and mid-stage companies, each of the six in-person, free sessions puts you in the room with people who have built, financed, and scaled successful ventures. Participants hear directly from experienced founders, subject matter experts, venture CEOs, and investors who rarely appear in settings this intimate.

Early-stage fundraising is evolving rapidly across medtech, biotech, and digital health. Join us for this panel, where experienced investors and seasoned CEOs will discuss what attracts their interest, what gives them pause, and how founders can position their ventures effectively in a competitive funding climate. The panel will also address similarities and differences in investment considerations across medtech, biotech, and digital health, giving attendees actionable strategies and insight into best practices, and common pitfalls, to help move deals forward successfully.

The conversation will explore prevailing market conditions, the role of syndication in venture financing and why it matters to investors, and what founders need to understand about how syndicates are formed. Panelists will also walk through key elements of the due diligence process, offering practical guidance on what investors evaluate and how founders can prepare. You’ll hear candid advice on engaging with investors, including the value of seeking direct, sometimes uncomfortable feedback.

Most importantly, join us to network with our esteemed panelists and connect with fellow life sciences founders navigating similar growth challenges.
