Vessl Prosthetics at RESI

1 Dec

By Rikki Piccirillo, Marketing Manager, LSN

RikkiCo-Founders, Sydney Robinson and Oleksiy Zaika of Vessl Prosthetics joined us at RESI Boston in September. With an understanding of the value of building relationships early in their fundraising journey, attending RESI made perfect sense. This team made the most of their time at RESI, researching attending investors, strategizing panel attendance, and capitalizing on every learning and networking opportunity that presented itself. As thorough and prepared as they were for their time at RESI, the same zest can be said for how Vessl Prosthetics came to be. In this interview with Sydney, you can learn more about their company, the product their developing and their strategy at RESI:

Registration is open for RESI JPM San Francisco, January 10 In Person at the Marines’ Memorial Club & Hotel & January 11-12 online Virtual Partnering.

RESI JPM San Francisco Sponsor Highlight – Husch Blackwell

1 Dec

By Antoinette Lowre, Manager of Business Development, LSN

Life Science Nation was thrilled to have Hush Blackwell at RESI Boston in September as a Silver Sponsor. Their sponsorship included a workshop, Leveraging IP for Growing an Investable Medtech Company, hosted by Hush Blackwell Partner, Bryan Stewart. This panel highlighted the importance of IP leverage and included testimonials and insight from some of their current clients. Bryan stated:

“The Husch Blackwell team had a great experience sponsoring the RESI Boston conference. We featured founders from funded companies restor3d, Trio Labs, and protect3d on our panel presentation titled ‘Leveraging IP for Growing an Investable MedTech Company.’ Our team and our panelists enjoyed the industry-relevant RESI presentations, the pitch competitions, and networking with others in the RESI and LSN ecosystem. We found sponsoring RESI Boston immensely valuable – we will be back sponsoring RESI JPM!”

Husch Blackwell will be at RESI JPM in San Francisco as a Gold Sponsor and will be hosting another panel during our packed 1-day in person event on January 10, followed by two virtual partnering days.

LSN Announces Collaboration with California Life Sciences at RESI JPM San Francisco

17 Nov

By Alexander Vassallo, Manager of Business Development West Coast (US), Entrepreneurial Education Lead, LSN

Last week, Life Science Nation (LSN) was happy to announce a first-of-its-kind collaboration with California Life Sciences (CLS), in the buildup to our next in-person RESI, taking place Jan 10-12, 2023 in San Francisco, during JP Morgan Healthcare week. The collaboration with CLS, who will be featured as a Title Sponsor, will bring into the spotlight many of the elite technology assets emerging from the state’s most impactful life sciences trade association. Over the past nine years, their FAST advisory program has seen 12 exits, 9 acquisitions, and 3 IPOs, with over $2.5B investment secured across all fundraising rounds.

RESI JPM San Francisco, which will see over 500 investors and licensing partners and 350 fundraising executives congregate during JPM week at the Marines Memorial Hotel, is an excellent event to begin the collaboration. CLS will also be featuring 8 early-stage firms across the biotech and medtech sectors in the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) at RESI San Francisco as part of the CLS Innovation Track which will serve to further the visibility and growth of these fundraising firms with LSN’s global partner network.

CLS is hosting a networking reception during JPM, a chance to network with the CLS community, including the companies pitching at RESI. Registering for this networking event can be done through the link below.

CLS Reception at JPM: January 11, 2023 | 5:30-7:30PM | The Olympic Club

Led by Sibylle Hauser, Executive Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at CLS, and Alex Vassallo, Business Development Manager (West Coast) & Entrepreneurial Education Lead at LSN, this collaboration will serve to strengthen the relationship between the two organizations as the industry moves into 2023. As LSN’s first Strategic Global Tech Hub Partner, CLS is well-positioned to continue fostering the growth of their early-stage life science community and help bring innovative technologies to the market which will hopefully one day change the current paradigms of healthcare.
