J.P. Morgan Healthcare Week is packed with satellite networking events, receptions, and pitch sessions competing for attention across San Francisco. Yet for early-stage life science startups, navigating the crowded hotel lobbies often results in fragmented conversations and low conversion rates.
When it comes to securing qualified capital and licensing discussions, RESI Partnering is the single most critical partnering platform of JPM Week.
Unlike general industry gatherings where early-stage founders are mixed in with late-stage and commercial companies, the RESI Partnering System is engineered specifically for Seed, Series A, and Series B innovators. With the platform officially going live on Monday, November 16, 2026, participants gain an immediate head start to connect directly with active decision-makers.
Why RESI Partnering Is the Most Critical Platform for Startups
The RESI system eliminates the guesswork of JPM Week by pairing deep matchmaking criteria with active capital allocators:
- Targeted Investor Mandates: Filter investors not by generic categories, but by detailed investment criteria: indication, phase of development, modality, and capital structure preferences across Therapeutics, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, and Digital Health.
- Verified, Active Checkbooks: Connect with over 700 active early-stage investors, venture funds, family offices, and corporate venture capital (CVC) scouts attending with explicit deployment mandates.
- A Dedicated 5-Day Hybrid Structure: Lock in face-to-face meetings during the two in-person days in San Francisco (January 11 and 12), and continue building relationships through three dedicated virtual partnering days (January 13, 18, and 19) designed to fit around busy JPM schedules.
- Two Full Months of Momentum: Early access starting November 16 ensures you can initiate dialogue, review incoming requests, and lock in your schedule long before arriving in San Francisco.
