The Reglagene Story and How They Learned to Tell It

By Rory McCann, Marketing Manager & Conference Producer, LSN

Like most scientist-entrepreneurs, Reglagene CEO, Richard Austin thought the compelling story of his company and their precision chemotherapy technology would be enough to get the attention of investors. He quickly learned the importance of marketing the company and telling their story was also integral to their growth. His early experiences with RESI served as classroom, arena, and runway to success.

In our interview, Richard references the education he received from Life Science Nation CEO, Dennis Ford. Dennis is hosting the Global Roadshow Prep Course: a hands-on, comprehensive, one-day course designed to set up the early-stage life science executive for success as they conduct their global fundraise. Each class is open to 24 early-stage, fundraising entrepreneurs and includes premier access to RESI Partnering Week, September 13-17.

The Global Roadshow Prep Course takes place Friday, September 3 and September 10. View the agenda and sign up to jumpstart your fundraising through telling your story and connecting with the right investors for you!

Partnering Opens Next Week

By Karen Deyo, Director of Investor Research, Israel BD, LSN

Partnering for RESI Partnering Week, taking place September 13-17, launches Monday, giving companies a chance to connect with investors. The LSN Partnering Platform offers startups an unprecedented opportunity to search for and identify investors that are a fit for them based on sector, stage of development and other helpful criteria. Successful partnering takes a lot of work, and the companies that book the most meetings send, on average, over 100 meeting requests to relevant investors, followed by frequent follow-ups. We will be offering free partnering tutorials for registered attendees in the weeks before the conference takes place. Take a look at the registered investors below, and make sure to register now before partnering launches!

Confirmed RESI Partnering Week Investors

Hot Investor Mandate: Private Life Science Investment Firm Interested in Global Therapeutics Companies in Immuno-Oncology, Metabolic Disease, and More

A private life science investment firm with a presence in USA, Canada, and Western Europe, looks to make investments into privately held companies and while the firm can be flexible in terms of allocation size, most investments fall in the $.5-$3million range. The firm is open to investing in companies located around the globe.

The firm is currently looking for therapeutics companies across all indication areas with particular attention to metabolic diseases (including type II diabetes), immunoncology, aging, and infectious diseases. The firm is interested in pre-clinical stage companies that have a lead asset established as well as companies in early clinical trials. The firm is open to all molecule types that meet this criteria. The firm is generally not interested in next generation cytotoxic chemotherapies, therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease, or therapies for cardiovascular indications.

The firm acts as hands-on investors who contribute substantially to the operation of their portfolio companies, often supplementing management with a network of drug developers and specialists in regulatory affairs, clinical affairs, manufacturing, and other subspecialties.

Hot Investor Mandate: Family Office with Over 30 Years of Experience Invests in Early-Stage Medtech & Digital Health Companies Based in North America and Europe

A family office founded over 30 years ago has recently been restarted, and has recently transitioned to have a stronger healthcare focus after coming out of dormancy and is seeking to make equity investments in the $200K – $2M USD range. The firm is a multi-stage longer term oriented investor interested in new and more seasoned emerging growth companies addressing a broad range of Healthcare and Medical products and services opportunities. The firm invests in companies based in North America and Europe and is actively seeking new investment opportunities.

The firm is interested in Medtech and Healthcare IT projects that are transformative and disruptive within their fields. The firm is not interested in therapeutics, vaccines, molecules, or any healthcare projects with undefined regulatory approval cycles. Otherwise, the firm is rather opportunistic within the Medtech and Healthcare IT sectors.

When investing, the firm seeks a board seat and prefers to get involved with the management team. As a result, the firm prefers a management team that is willing to work with them together as partners.
