One of the best parts of RESI returning to an in-person format after more than two years is the return of the live pitch session! RESI Boston returns in-person September 21-22, with an additional day of dedicated-digital partnering September 23. Applications to pitch for the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) are now open until Friday, August 12! The IPC was created to respond to the need for a digital pitch format. Now it has been modified to bring the value and function to an in-person format.
What Is It?
The Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) is an opportunity for early-stage life science and healthcare companies to gain additional exposure to conference attendees and pitch directly to a panel of judges, featuring active investors and industry experts. Participating companies pay to host their company materials on the Live Agenda and participate in the live pitch session.
How Does It Work?
Pitching companies will have a dedicated webpage on the RESI Live Agenda, which greatly increases visibility to investors and other registered attendees. Companies can share their marketing collateral such as their slide deck, executive summary, optional pitch video, and more.
Each pitching company will be assigned to an IPC session, with each session featuring four companies, grouped together based on similar sector and/or technology. Companies will be given four minutes to pitch, followed by an additional ten minutes of Q&A and feedback from the judging panel.
Who Should Apply?
Early-stage life science companies actively raising seed capital ($25K – 2M), Series A ($2 – 10M), or Series B ($10 – 50M) use the IPC to get in front of the panel of qualified investor judges in their market segment and pitch their company and product. Early-stage companies are encouraged to apply and submit their pitch deck and executive summary.
