Next Phase Newsletter

Life Science Nation (LSN)’s global network, built over the past decade, incorporates a host of exciting early-stage life science strategic partners, including Technology (Tech) Hubs. Due to the key role that Tech Hubs play in the early-stage life science arena, LSN has developed several Tech Hub-specific offerings to the central benefit of their constituents.

The first offering relates to a special 50% discount on standard 3-day registrations to any 2022 Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) partnering event – the nucleus of LSN’s global network partnerships. Provided the constituent has raised under $2M USD, they can attend RESI for $598, as opposed to the standard price of $1195. Constituents can partner with any number of the hundreds of active investors who attend RESI regularly, showcase their technology, and highlight why their company should be an investor’s top choice for 2022. For less than $600, this offer is rare in the life science partnering community, making it a no-brainer for cash-strapped businesses.

The second offer includes access to the LSN Investor Database. The LSN Investor Database helps startups raising their Seed to Series B funding rounds connect with active investors who are a right fit for their product and stage of development. The LSN Investor Database currently contains more than 10,000 global investors from over 2,500 investment firms across domains of therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health. When three, or more, tech hub constituents join, each constituent receives a four-month subscription, one free ticket to any 2022 RESI event, and a guaranteed slot in the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) for $2,000 per startup. Individually, these components would cost $3,800, but through this Tech Hub Group Fundraising Package, constituents have even more to benefit from.

Finally, all Tech Hub partners that send at least one constituent to RESI in 2022 will receive a dedicated webpage for that respective conference. Tech Hubs can showcase all their organization has to offer by submitting materials to LSN including an organization description, introductory video, brochure, case studies, and more. LSN curates these materials into a dedicated webpage which grants an unparalleled opportunity for exposure with our network. This dedicated webpage is part of the Tech Hub Partnership Agreement, a free-of-cost arrangement between LSN and the Tech Hub that ensures maximum benefit for both parties.

The Redefining Early Stage Investment (RESI) conference series is, first and foremost, a partnering event. However, in addition to being partnering-centric, RESI is also designed to provide unfettered access to “the room where it happens” in the form of investor panels designed to provide valuable insight into what investors want in 2022.

Digital RESI March will feature 13 panels, with 10 panels featuring investors sharing their insights and giving tips to fundraising companies, as well as 3 panels featuring startups sharing their successful fundraising stories, how they achieved it, and what they’ve learned along the way. The investor panels range in focus from Seed Funds to Medtech Strategics, and focusing on different sectors, from Mental & Behavioral Health to Cell & Gene Therapy. Additionally, there will be AI and Longevity-focused panels, two areas of the life sciences with increasing focus.

RESI is first and foremost a partnering conference, but this content offers many startups keen strategies to help them avoid common pitfalls when approaching investors. Attendees can take the time to watch the sessions live and ask the panelists questions, or choose to watch the panels at a later date, with the panel recordings available on the Live Agenda up to three weeks after the conference ends.

If your New Year’s resolution was to kick off an early-stage fundraise, you’re not alone, but RESI provides the actionable steps to get from point (or series) A to B. Check out our panels below and register by February 18 to save $200!

As we enter year three of the Covid-19 pandemic, companies and organizations need to be creative about ways to get their message out and gain visibility. The days of attending networking events and making contacts in unplanned meetings are still on the horizon. In the absence of these ad hoc meetings, how do you reach your target audience?  How do you showcase your expertise to potential customers in the digital/virtual world we live in today?

Organizations that want to reach early-stage, life science startups can get great visibility at the Digital RESI March conference. Sponsors at RESI March have a myriad of opportunities to reach their target audience, such as hosting a live workshop at the event. At our last RESI conference, Digital RESI JPM, sponsors held live workshops on topics that really matter to start-ups, such as

• Negotiating Term Sheets
• Licensing in the Life Sciences
• Evaluating your Banking Partner
• Fundraising Challenges for First-time Entrepreneurs

Sessions like these put a spotlight on the expertise that sponsors have in certain areas and offer the chance to make connections with companies needing these services. In addition, the Service Provider Showcase on the RESI Live Agenda is great for brand recognition.

It’s no secret that January is a time for action – new resolutions, new fundraising campaigns, and, of course, the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare week – the Olympic torch of life science deal flow. At Life Science Nation, we know that fundraising is a numbers game, and just because January is winding down, doesn’t mean the early-stage ecosystem is. This is why the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) conference series picks up where we left off March 22-24 with a whole new lineup of panels, workshops, pitch sessions, partnering, and more!

Check out our preliminary agenda and visit our website to learn more and see how you can get involved in Digital RESI March! Innovator’s Pitch Challenge applications are open until Friday, February 25, and panel recruitment is ongoing, so if you’re a fit for a panel topic, or if your company is ready to get in front of the right investors for your product and stage of development, contact us to learn more!
