Please join us for a discussion of the basic terms you will encounter in a typical VC financing and a Q&A session with three VCs from the Bay Area life sciences community. What are the best ways to approach fundraising with VCs? What should founders/CEOs avoid when pitching to VCs? What do VCs look for in a life science startup company? What sort of business case/pitch is compelling, from the perspective of a VC? What do all of these investment terms mean?
A brief presentation, followed by a Q&A session, moderated by Wilson Sonsini’s James Huie and Matt Kovac.
