What better way to honor Women’s History Month than to celebrate powerful women in the life sciences? In this "shark tank style" event, two groups of influential biotech women will come together in the Lobster Pot: six female executives raising startup funds, and four senior-level women at investment firms.
Come check out companies from across the life science spectrum and take advantage of an invaluable networking opportunity. Each executive will pitch to investors who will provide feedback on the pitch and ideas presented. The audience will also be able rate the pitches.
Join us to learn how to pitch to investors more effectively and to check out some exciting life sciences NewCos. Whether you are starting your own company, raising money, or just want to celebrate powerful women, this is one event you can’t afford to miss.
