The Life Sciences VC Pitch
April 22, 2010 | 6:00-8:30 PM | Two Palo Alto Square | Palo Alto
Event Sponsor: Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP
 
The Life Sciences VC Pitch programs through VC Taskforce offer an opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking start up funding to pitch in front of a distinguished panel of investors.  VC Taskforce and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP have partnered to bring to you a scintillating program series to bring entrepreneurs and VCs together in the life science fields.  The evening will be exciting and a terrific learning experience for all entrepreneurs.  Entrepreneurs learn what VCs are looking for in a pitch presentation.

Entrepreneurs seeking capital will pitch for 2 minutes in front of the VC panel.  This is followed by 5 minutes of Q&A and then a non-rebuttal feedback by the panel. A score of (1-5) is given to each presenting company by each panel member. Please note that pitching time limits will be strictly enforced!

Investors come and listen to entrepreneurs’ pitches. You never know where you’ll find your next deal. Find out how our panel of investors rate entrepreneurs’ pitches; which VCs pass and for what reasons; and which entrepreneurs other VCs want to talk to ASAP. Please let us know if you would like to participate on one of our Life Science VC Connection panels.

This is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to network with investors, present their company, and hear first-hand what it takes to raise early-stage capital in 2010.  If you are an entrepreneur in a startup that is currently seeking capital, and would like to present your best 2 minutes elevator pitch to a panel of VCs, you must register in advance and have confirmation from the program manager that you are on the list of presenters. The maximum number of presenters is limited to ten.
