RESI South is rapidly approaching, taking place in person on March 25 in Atlanta at The Whitley Buckhead Hotel, followed by two days of virtual partnering on March 26-27. For this highly anticipated conference, LSN’s Investor Research Team has curated a lineup of 7 panels covering a wide range of topics relevant to early-stage investments and innovations.
At RESI South, we have a series of panels that feature key players in the startup investment ecosystem, including Corporate Venture Capital and Seed Funds. The panelists will delve into their investment and partnership strategies, how they evaluate prospects, manage relationships with their early-stage portfolio, and their unique position in the ecosystem, among other topics.
Other panels will focus on emerging sectors that have been gaining interest and momentum, such as Digital Health, AI in Healthcare, CNS Diseases, Longevity, and Chronic Disease Management. These panels will feature investors who have been actively following and allocating in these respective verticals. They will provide insights into cutting-edge innovations, the latest investment trends, the importance of these technologies, and how these markets will evolve in the future.
We are honored to be joined by a diverse group of panelists, each bringing unique backgrounds and experiences. Through organizing these panels, our goal is to foster communications, bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investors/strategic partners, and assist founders and CEOs in navigating their fundraising and business development journey in this highly competitive landscape. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from and connect with seasoned investors and executives at these RESI panels.
