The Team at LSN is pleased to announce that for our first RESI Conference on the West Coast we will be bringing together over 500 investors, scientist-entrepreneurs, and strategic partners from around the world for a full day of partnering, panels and workshops.

 

RESI 4 provides a venue for all early stage scientist-entrepreneurs to connect with early stage investors.RESI's goal is to facilitate dialogues that open compelling relationships between entrepreneurs and investors.  These relationships lead to capital allocations which will move science along. In partnership with AdvaMed, the sponsor of RESI's medtech investor panel track, RESI strengthens its reach into the world of medtech startups and investors. In addition to the new Medtech panel track, RESI 4 will also have a Biotech panel track, hands-on workshops, the RESI Innovation Challenge, and the RESI Partnering Forum.

The RESI Innovation Challenge is taking place in San Francisco on January 13 and will feature 31 handpicked early stage biotech and medtech innovators from around the globe. These entrepreneurs have each received a presentation space in the exhibit hall for the full day of the conference to present their opportunity to investors and fellow entrepreneurs. LSN has found that companies presenting in this venue interact with more investors-and more frequently-throughout the course of the day than companies making the traditional 15-minute presentation.

 

To add some friendly competition to the mix, the RESI Innovation Challenge invites all attendees to participate in a virtual investment contest. At the start of the day, each attendee will receive "RESI Cash" to allocate to the entrepreneurs whose technologies they expect will be most influential. The company that receives the most investor dollars wins. This time, the first prize winner will receive complimentary consulting from LSN. The winner can choose one of the following three projects...
