The Biotech Angels panel will be moderated by Bernie Rudnick, Founder, Mid Atlantic Bio Angels and will feature the following panelists:

These panel sessions will explore general topics such as how angel groups approach an investment opportunity and how best to pitch to/work with an angel investor as well as more specific topics such as how they work with other angel groups and VCs, what to expect in the diligence process, cap table issues and more.
