Biotech Exec Webinar – Who should be on your executive team? Structuring for success and fractional execs. – Sign Up
Join Life Science Nation (LSN) and Biotech Exec in early August for a free webinar on how to structure your life science startup executive team for success. Startups can fall victim to many strategic mistakes even when the science holds up. Choosing the right indication. Performing the right assay. Designing the right trial. Structuring a fund raise optimally. But one of the least talked about mistakes is putting the wrong people on the executive team or simply not brining on the right talent. We will have an engaging discussion that will include case studies of how things went wrong and testimonials from experienced CEOs and investors regarding what went right and what went wrong in their previous experience. Investors have a knack for knowing immediately if the executive team is poised to go the distance. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls most investors look for to ensure your barrier to fundraising is at a minimal.
