Life Science Nation (LSN) and our RESI partnering events are a deal-sourcing engine and sales funnel for any service provider with products for early-stage life science companies. The global platform LSN has developed gathers early-stage life science startup entities when they leave academia with a tech transfer license and matches them up with capital investors and licensing partners who do Seed, Series A, and Series B deals over five to ten years. LSN touches and serves twelve thousand global startups (the sell-side) whom we match up with four thousand capital investors and licensing partners (the buy-side). LSN can integrate a service provider into the buy-side and sell-side communities we have built. Below is the program guide from RESI JPM 2024, where LSN hosted six hundred startups and six hundred investors and licensing partners, and every one of those companies needs products and services on their journey to commercialization.
Life Science Nation has over a decade of expertise in helping match startup companies with capital investors and licensing partners. All the scientist-entrepreneurs need to gather knowledge about how to prepare and execute a global partnering campaign. If you are an early-stage life science company translating research, the juxtaposition is academic researchers moving from research into funding and scaling a commercial product. Once funded, that is where LSN’s service provider network enters the picture and can sell its products to the startups. By regularly attending RESI you develop a pipeline of targets for your products.
LSN works with startups to cover the nuts and bolts of preparing and executing a global fundraising campaign. Once they are prepared for a fundraising campaign, LSN provides a global target list of investors and licensing partners that fit their stage of development and product. Service providers play a large role in helping startups succeed, helping them avoid expensive pitfalls. LSN runs five RESI partnering conferences annually around the planet, and RESI provides a platform for startups to leverage and execute their campaign. If you are a service provider, attend RESI events to establish a pipeline of leads and opportunities to meet one-on-one with the early-stage founders. Many service providers also meet with investors who attend RESI and offer discounted services to the portfolio being managed by the investors. A win/win for everyone.
