Introducing Investor Reverse Pitch at RESI Boston 2026 – Hear directly from the investors shaping the life science and healthcare startup ecosystem 

By Joey Wong, Director of Investor Research, Hong Kong BD, LSN

Joey-New-Headshot

Fundraising is a two-way conversation. While startups regularly pitch to investors, it is equally valuable for entrepreneurs to understand what investors are looking for and the unique value they can bring beyond providing capital.

This year at RESI Boston 2026, we are excited to introduce a new Investor Reverse Pitch, a dedicated session where investors will take the stage. Unlike traditional startup pitch sessions, where companies present their technologies and business models, Investor Reverse Pitch puts the spotlight on investors. Participating investors will introduce their fund, share their investment thesis, highlight the opportunities they are currently seeking, and most importantly, showcase the unique value proposition they bring to the startups they back and what it is like to work with them as a partner.

Each presenter will have 5 minutes to pitch, followed by 6-7 minutes of audience Q&A. Founders can come prepared with their most pressing questions, learn how investors evaluate opportunities, and identify the partners who may be the best fit for their companies.

For early-stage founders, this is an excellent opportunity to gain direct insight into investor priorities, better position their fundraising strategies, and make their one-on-one meetings at RESI more focused and productive. For investors, it is your chance to highlight your thesis, attract relevant deal flow, and connect with founders whose technologies and goals closely align with your mandate.

Call for Speakers

We are currently seeking investors and strategic partners to participate in the Investor Reverse Pitch at RESI Boston 2026. The sessions will take place on Wednesday, September 23rd at the Westin Copley Place in Boston.

If you are interested in presenting at the Investor Reverse Pitch, please reach out to research@lifesciencenation.com. We look forward to working with you on this exciting new addition to RESI!
