By Joey Wong, Investor Research Analyst, Hong Kong BD, LSN
Life Science Nation (LSN)’s next event, RESI September, is coming up on September 18. The conference will take place at the Boston Park Plaza, located in the heart of Boston – a hub of life science and healthcare innovation.
RESI has consistently provided an exceptional opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch directly to a panel of active investors and industry experts through the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC). The IPC has rapidly gained popularity and has become the go-to event for many successful entrepreneurs to fine-tune their pitching skills, receive valuable feedback on their products and technologies and connect directly with seasoned investors.
During an IPC session, participating companies will be given 4 minutes for their presentation, followed by 9 minutes of Q&A. IPC’s unique format and judge recruitment process allows companies to pitch alongside fellow entrepreneurs operating in the same sectors and in front of a panel of investor pitch judges who are immensely experienced in that particular sector. By joining the IPC, companies gain not only significant exposure, but also invaluable connections with influential investors and industry experts.
We are excited to announce a selection of the confirmed companies that will be pitching at RESI September. Don’t forget to submit your application before the deadline on August 9 to join these companies at RESI September IPC.
