21 Dec

By Karen Deyo, VP of Product, Israel BD, LSN

Life Science Nation (LSN)‘s RESI JPM 2024 is less than two weeks away! For this conference, the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) is especially popular and we are featuring 56 presenting startups across 14 sessions, each focusing on a specific sector/subsector. The LSN team has been busy recruiting active investors and industry experts to join the pitch judge panels. The investor and industry experts were invited to sessions based on their experience, investment interest and expertise. The judges will listen to 4 minutes of company pitches and have 8 to 9 minutes to engage in Q&A and provide feedback to the pitching companies.
