[Video] Medical Device Strategics Panel at RESI 4

By Nono Hu, Senior Manager, Branding & Messaging, LSN

This week, LSN published the RESI 4 Medical Device Strategics Panel video featuring five investment experts from top tier, global, medical device companies. The panel was designed to educate entrepreneurs on what kinds of innovative technologies these giants are looking for, and how to reach out to a strategic medtech investor about your innovative device technology. In this panel, several valuable questions were answered by the panelists, including: What distinctions are there between VC and strategic investing? How early in development process do you get involved with early stage companies? How do companies approach you, and can you provide examples of early-stage deals you've made recently? How should entrepreneurs find out what technologies you are interested in?
