Life Science Nation (LSN) is now accepting applications for the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC) at both RESI London and RESI JPM. The IPC provides early-stage life science and healthcare companies with the opportunity to pitch directly to a panel of active investors, receive interactive feedback, and showcase their technology in the RESI Exhibition Hall.

RESI London – December 2025

The first week of December marks the largest life science partnering and venture week in the UK. For companies raising pre-seed through Series B, or those in Phase II or earlier development, RESI London—alongside One Nucleus’ Genesis and ELRIG/SLAS events—offers a stronger fit compared to the late November healthcare week held concurrently with Jefferies. While Jefferies tends to focus on IPO-ready or Phase III+ companies, RESI London is designed for venture-stage entrepreneurs seeking investment and strategic partnerships.

The conference takes place in person on December 4 at No.11 Cavendish Square, London, with virtual partnering continuing on December 8–9.

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.

Announcing Premier PLUS for RESI Partnering

July 1, 2025 ~ Next Phase Admin ~ Leave a comment

By Max Braht, Director of Business Development, LSN

Pre-pandemic I came across a survey that went out to in-licensors and investors to see from where they sourced their deals. Pipeline databases? Literature? Partnering meetings? Medical conferences? Incoming email solicitations? Website submissions? Warm intros? As it happens, the #1 answer was partnering events, representing the first point of contact for the two parties that eventually made a deal. Even the BioNTech and Pfizer deal came out of a partnering conference in 2013.

However, partnering conferences require a lot of targeted effort in the partnering system to reach out to potential partners and follow-up on the initial outreach. For many early-stage life science entrepreneurs, preparing for a RESI Conference means juggling multiple priorities — investor research, updating pitch decks, team coordination, and most importantly, the execution of your investor outreach strategy.

Many entrepreneurs underestimate the time and effort it takes to identify the right targets, write effective messages, and follow up with these targets consistently. Without a strategic approach, it’s easy to miss out on valuable meetings.

To address this, LSN is introducing a new service: Premier PLUS Partnering, where we do the partnering for you.

Premier PLUS Partnering provides hands-on support from the LSN team to manage your partnering outreach from start to finish.

Drawing on years of experience helping thousands of companies connect with investors, LSN can assist by:

Identifying and reaching out to relevant investors and partners
Crafting consistent, professional messages tailored to each contact
Managing communication and scheduling through the partnering platform
Ensuring confirmed meetings in advance of the conference

For entrepreneurs who know the importance of effective partnering strategies and are interested in taking advantage of Premier PLUS Partnering at RESI Boston September, please reach out directly to the LSN team at sales@lifesciencenation.com or include the add-on in your RESI Boston September Registration.
