Meet the Judges of the RESI Boston September’s Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) Next Week

14 Sep

By Claire Jeong, Chief Conference Officer, Vice President of Investor Research, Asia BD, LSN

RESI Boston September is now just 4 days away!

In this conference cycle, we will be showcasing over 50 Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) Finalists across therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, R&D / life science tools, and more. These companies will be pitching in a live session with a panel of investor and industry expert judges and engage in Q&A. We are thankful for all of the judges who will be participating and providing valuable feedback and questions to the IPC finalist companies. The judges collectively represent over 40 unique firms, including some of the most active investors in the life science industry.

Whether you are an actively fundraising early-stage company, or an active investor/strategic partner looking for targeted dealflow, it is still not too late to register and engage with over 700 attendees in-person or virtually, as well as listen in on our robust program of panels, pitch sessions, and workshops throughout the whole day on Monday, September 18, at the Boston Park Plaza.

Below are the participating judges. See you all next week!
