Successful Fundraising in The Current State of Biotech Investing

What does today’s investment climate mean for biotech startups and how does the approach to financing differ today than in previous years, if any? How should entrepreneurs look at the composition of financing rounds, milestone-driven check sizes, and define successful outcomes to create win-win scenarios for investors and the company?

 

This session gives young start-ups a clear view of the macroeconomic fundraising landscape and how to navigate successful fundraises to advance their company to meaningful outcomes. They will gain a better understanding of what currently excites investors or raises red flags and how to plan for success even in volatile markets.
