The Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) is a highlight of the Redefining Early Stage Investment (RESI) conferences! Innovative startups in life science and healthcare showcase their technology by pitching to investors in a live Q&A format, providing feedback, practice, and, sometimes, valuable connections that lead to deals. All finalists are divided into separate IPC sessions based on similar sectors and technologies. This allows relevant investors and industry professionals with field expertise to provide targeted questions and feedback. IPC participation also includes a space to exhibit a posterboard highlighting their product or technology in a large exhibit hall for the full day of the conference. With the live Q&A session and poster exhibit, companies are able to boost their exposure and increase their chances of networking with relevant investors and strategic partners.
