Springboard Enterprises is hosting the first venture capital forum exclusively for women-led Life Sciences companies- AllThingsLifeSciences 2009.
The organization is actively seeking early and later stage biotech, diagnostics, therapeutics, pharmaceuticals, health IT, health care products and services, agribio, cleantech, and other life science companies led by women to present. Companies that are qualified through the three-round screening process will have the opportunity to present to active angel, venture and corporate investors in Silicon Valley, New York City and Madison WI in October 2009.
Companies selected to present will also have the opportunity to participate in a coaching program which includes a one-day orientation Bootcamp held in Washington, D.C. At this time, presenters will be paired with a dedicated team of at least three sector experts and investors who will play a critical role in assisting the entrepreneur with refining, and in some cases redefining, the content and effectiveness of her pitch.
