The panelists are:

In this panel, corporate VC investors will discuss the types of companies they’re interested in investing in, and how they structure these opportunities to achieve their strategic aims. Panelists will provide advice on how entrepreneurs can engage with a corporate investor, and how they bridge the gap between early stage startups and major pharmaceutical corporations.

If you’d like to be there in person, you can register for RESI now.

The critical early years of drug development after lead compound selection see pre-clinical studies, IND-filing, and the design and implementation of clinical trials. While navigating the regulatory needs of the FDA may seem enough of a challenge, entrepreneurs must also consider how their drug addresses the needs of investors. Capital intensity, endpoint selection, timelines to inflection points – these are just a few topics beyond the scientific data that LSN researchers have discussed the importance of with investors.

Understanding what investors are looking for in the deal and business plan structure can help entrepreneurs immensely in their approach to funding.
