Come for the Pitch, Stay for the Relationship

Bright-eyed entrepreneurs with big ideas and even bigger fundraising needs have joined Digital RESI throughout 2021 in hopes of meeting investors who are just as excited to meet them, and there’s no virtual meeting spot that brings the two together like the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC). Apply to pitch at DIgital RESI November by October 22!

The IPC provides opportunities for early-stage companies to gain additional exposure to conference attendees, pitch directly to a panel of relevant investors, and participate in a live Q&A session. Fundraising entrepreneurs use the IPC for exposure, connection, valuable feedback, and often, a conversation that leads to many more down the road. Investors use it for the same – the opportunity to hear from and connect with entrepreneurs, learn more about exciting technology, and advance deal-flow initiatives.

For these reasons, the IPC is one of the most popular and well-attended features of the Digital RESI conference series, but don’t take our word for it. See what investors have said about their participation and check out previous investors that have sat on IPC judging panels throughout 2021.

“It was a very economical use of time; the investors got to ask their important questions and the Innovators got a good idea of the most pressing questions from the investors point of view.”
William Kuziel, MedPro Investors
“The Pitch Sessions are a great opportunity to connect with startup CEOs and learn more about their work…It really has been an effective and efficient way to make connections, create deal flow and help startups raise money for their upcoming raises.”
Mayank Taneja, OSF Healthcare
“I look forward to LSN’s events because they provide an opportunity for our venture capital firm to find promising companies with exceptional technologies. The organization and technology platform make it very easy to hear numerous pitches from founders.”
Nat Brinn, VC23
“The Pitch Sessions were a great opportunity to engage with the CEO/Founders of very innovative Life Science startups. Despite the COVID-related transition from in-person to virtual meetings, the RESI team did an outstanding job organizing these sessions, ensuring that the live Q&A was very productive, and facilitating follow-up with these exciting companies.”
Gary Gershony, Life Science Angels / BayMed Venture Partners

LSN Global Fundraising Bootcamp Series: Branding & Messaging for Fundraising

14 Oct

By Gregory Mannix, Vice President International Business Development, General Manager Europe, LSN

Join us October 19, 10 AM EDT/16:00 CEST for a new edition of Life Science Nation (LSN)’s Fundraising Bootcamp series, co-organized by BioIndustry Park Silvano Fumero in Turin, Italy. The topic of focus will be the importance of communicating effectively when reaching out to potential investors and partners through clear and compelling branding and messaging.

sign-up-for-free

In our last joint event for Europe, one of the key takeaways was the need to go global in early-stage fundraising. We highlighted the fact that global funding in the life sciences hit an all-time high in 2020 and is continuing to break records in 2021, but the lion’s share of deals happened in the US, followed distantly by Asia and Europe. The LSN Investor Database shows that even for a European company, there are more potential investment firms from outside of Europe than from the actual old continent itself, illustrating the need to seek global partners.

Register today to learn more about how LSN is making the world of early-stage funding a smaller place by tearing down the barriers between cross-border connections and how you can start reaching a global audience.

Crafting the Tale to Tell with Terra Bioworks

14 Oct

By Rory McCann, Marketing Manager & Conference Producer, LSN

What can often stand in the way of meaningful connection with investors is a company story, and what often stands in the way of crafting the tale you want to tell can be you. No one knows your story better than you do, which can make it difficult to tell it clearly and concisely to those who do not yet know you.

Dr. David Mead, CEO of Terra Bioworks knew all there is to know about his company and the great work they are doing, but with the help of Dennis Ford and the team at Life Science Nation, David was able to put his knowledge to work telling a meaningful story to investors interested in his company. Learn more about David’s experience with LSN’s branding and messaging team and how he leveraged this experience to make powerful connections at Digital RESI.

Do you want to put your own company story to the test? Register for Digital RESI November and save $100 on early bird rates until October 29.

RESI January 2022 to Remain Virtual

7 Oct

By Dennis Ford, Founder and CEO of Life Science Nation, Creator of the LSN Partnering Conference Series

RESI January 2022 will remain virtual for the health and safety of our global community and will not have an in-person component. RESI partnering is a powerful, valuable tool at the fingertips of fundraising executives, and the team at Life Science Nation has chosen to optimize the virtual experience, rather than limit the in-person one. Through technological advancement and a more accessible price point, the RESI partnering experience is more impactful than ever with investors, collaborators, and licensing channel partners using RESI to source, vet, and sign deals. We hope you’ll join us for another Digital RESI January and support global public health initiatives for a brighter future together.

Sometimes Money Isn’t Enough

7 Oct

By Karen Deyo, Director of Investor Research, Israel BD, LSN; Gregory Mannix, Vice President International Business Development, General Manager Europe, LSN

Life Science Nation (LSN) and the Redefining Early Stage Investment (RESI) conference series are built on the belief that a startup can improve its fundraising success by partnering often and making sure that the investors and strategic partners they reach out to are a fit for their technology and stage of development. However, while fundraising is a key piece of the puzzle to achieving success, it is not the only piece.

The other pillar of the RESI conference is our service provider attendees, many of whom sponsor the events. These companies can play a crucial role in giving startups advice to navigate the complex path of taking a technology to a finished product. Simply put, a lack of funding is not the only reason a company may fail – if the company makes an early mistake through inexperience, this can cause issues down the road when they can no longer be fixed.

The service providers who attend RESI can offer valuable insight to early-stage companies based on years, and often decades, of experience working in this space. Taking the opportunity to connect with them at RESI can help a startup achieve that next milestone on the most efficient path. It is often worth the additional cost to know that it is done right and often much faster than achieved in-house.

Sponsors at RESI Partnering Week represent a wide array of valuable services that early-stage companies will benefit from, and they offer guidance and workshops at RESI. Here are some examples:

  • MWE has offered workshops on Negotiating Term Sheets—always a favorite at RESI—and on Commercialization of AI Technologies.
  • Burns & Levinson has shared guidance on such relevant topics as Intellectual Property and Cross-Border Transactions.
  • First Republic Bank discussed the wide array of services that banks can offer to startups.
  • Venture Valuation offered valuable insight on Company Valuation for Fundraising

Other sponsors can provide information on topics ranging from insurance needs for life science companies (Medmarc) to Clinical Trials in Australia (Avance Clinical) to financing of scientific equipment (Boldview Capital), to name just a few.

Aside from information and insight, the great service provider companies that come to RESI are available to help early-stage companies on the long journey to commercialization or exit. Learn more about sponsorship opportunities and how LSN’s business development team can help you reach your goals.
