By Max Braht, VP of Business Development, LSN

Every January, JPM Healthcare Week transforms San Francisco into the global center of the life science industry, bringing together investors, pharmaceutical executives, biotech leaders, and innovators from around the world. For organizations looking to showcase their regional ecosystem, portfolio companies, or innovation network, RESI JPM 2027 offers a unique opportunity to establish a visible and strategic presence during one of the industry’s most influential weeks.

Located within the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, RESI JPM is the premier partnering conference dedicated to early-stage life science companies. The event connects startups with active investors, strategic partners, and business development professionals through curated partnering meetings, educational programming, and networking opportunities.

Life Science Nation invites regional organizations, innovation hubs, accelerators, and industry partners to create their own branded Innovation Hub alongside RESI JPM. These flexible hosting opportunities allow organizations to provide a central gathering place for their ecosystem while taking advantage of the high concentration of attendees already participating in RESI and JPM Healthcare Week.

RESI JPM 2027 Venue: Salons 9–15 (Yerba Buena Ballroom, Lower B2 Level) with total space exceeding 17,000 sq ft.

Organizations can kick off the week with a private networking reception on Sunday, welcoming investors, founders, corporate partners, and key stakeholders before the week’s meetings begin. During RESI JPM on Monday and Tuesday, dedicated salon spaces adjacent to the conference offer an ideal location for hosting meetings, showcasing portfolio companies, conducting presentations, and serving as a home base for delegates throughout the event.

Tech/Innovation hubs also benefit from prominent branding within the RESI environment and the opportunity for their startup cohorts to engage directly in RESI’s partnering platform, creating additional exposure and meeting opportunities with investors and strategic partners.

Whether representing a regional life science cluster, government agency, incubator, accelerator, or investment organization, establishing an Innovation Hub at RESI JPM positions your organization at the center of the world’s largest life science partnering week while providing lasting value for your innovation ecosystem.

Build an Investor-Ready Company with Life Science Nation’s Education Program

August 4, 2026August 4, 2026 ~ Next Phase Admin ~ Leave a comment

By Karen Deyo, VP of Product, Israel BD, LSN

Raising capital is more than having innovative science. Early-stage life science companies also need a compelling story, a clear fundraising strategy, and the ability to engage the right investors. Life Science Nation’s (LSN) Education Program helps founders build those skills, preparing them for a successful fundraising campaign that typically spans 9 to 18 months.

Designed for biotechnology, medical device, diagnostics, digital health, and life science tool companies, the program gives entrepreneurs practical guidance while helping accelerators, incubators, universities, and regional innovation organizations better prepare their portfolio companies for investor engagement.

Two Programs, One Goal
Organizations can choose the level of support that best fits their companies’ needs.

Preparing and Executing a RESI Event includes:

Three virtual education sessions
In-person Pitch Practice and Shark Tank before RESI

Preparing and Executing a Global Roadshow includes:

Twelve virtual education sessions
A dedicated LSN mentor with coaching between classes
In-person Pitch Practice and Shark Tank

Throughout the curriculum, founders learn how investors evaluate opportunities, refine their branding and messaging, align fundraising goals with company milestones, and develop a systematic approach to investor outreach. Participants also learn how to navigate the RESI Partnering Platform, identify the right investors, execute productive meetings, and build an effective follow-up strategy after the conference.

The program concludes with an in-person Pitch Practice and Shark Tank held before RESI, giving companies the opportunity to present their technology, receive live feedback, and strengthen their investor presentations before meeting with active investors.

Putting Preparation into Practice

The Education Program is designed to prepare companies for the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) Conference Series, where startups connect with active investors, pharmaceutical companies, strategic partners, and service providers from across the global life science ecosystem.

Companies can further increase their visibility by participating in the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC). Each company delivers a six-minute presentation followed by seven minutes of investor Q&A, while also showcasing its technology in the RESI Exhibition Hall. IPC participants receive additional exposure through the LSN Newsletter and RESI Program Guide, with audience voting determining the competition winners.

Together, the Education Program, RESI Conference, and Innovator’s Pitch Challenge provide founders with a complete framework for fundraising success—from developing an investor-ready message to building meaningful relationships that can help move their companies forward.

Cross-Border Investor Luncheon at RESI Boston 2026

July 21, 2026July 24, 2026 ~ Next Phase Admin ~ Leave a comment

A private, screened luncheon for regional and international investors seeking syndicate partners.

RESI Boston | Wednesday, September 23 | 75 Seats

RSVP for Cross-Border Investor Luncheon Today

By Dennis Ford, Founder & CEO, Life Science Nation (LSN)

Nearly nine out of ten life science startups fail. Not because the science is poor, but because they never connect to the right capital and strategic partners. Solving that is the reason Life Science Nation exists, and for more than fifteen years our work has come down to one thing: finding parties who need each other and matching them.

As some readers know, LSN has been addressing this pervasive dilemma through the LSN Labs Anchor Node Program. An Anchor Node combines LSN’s commercialization methodology and global capital formation network with a regional partner’s laboratories, entrepreneurial programs, and operating platform to produce investment-ready life science companies.

As we expanded the Anchor Node Program across Boston, Australia, Japan, Korea, the UK, and Brazil, a clear pattern emerged: regional partners constantly brought their local VCs to the table seeking international capital. At the same time, our own data across five global RESI events revealed that twenty percent of all partnering meetings were already investor-to-investor.

So we decided to formalize it, and provide a dedicated room for these partners to connect.

The Cross-Border Investor Luncheon, CBIL, is a private luncheon at RESI Boston for regional and international investors seeking syndicate partners. Regional investors have access to exceptional companies that often never reach international investors. International investors have access and reach that regional funds cannot build alone. Both are looking for the same thing across Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Attendance is screened. CBIL is for active investors seeking syndicate partners outside their own region, whether that means bringing international capital into local deals or gaining access to deal flow in regions where they have no presence.

Taking place on Wednesday, September 23, CBIL follows the format of the Global Family Office BioForum luncheon (GFOB luncheon takes place on Tuesday, September 22), now in its eighth year. Across those eight years, GFOB has brought family offices together to find each other, form alliances, and build syndicates. CBIL is the natural next step, applying the same private, curated format to the international investor community.

“The future of life science investing is not just finding great companies. It is finding great syndicate partners in the global arena.”

Dennis Ford, Founder and CEO, Life Science Nation
