Moderated by Tom Miller, Managing Partner, GreyBird Ventures, this session will feature:
  • Nicola Urbani, Investment Director, Emerillon Capital
  • John Steuart, Managing Director, Steuart Ventures
  • Kathryn Deuchars, Director, Ontario Personalized Medicine Network, Ontario Genomics

By Nono Hu, Director of Marketing, LSN

With the third installment of the summer reading series we take a look at the important decision of whether or not one should use a fundraising partner to help them in securing capital. Chapter 3 of The Life Science Executive's Fundraising Manifesto, "Going It Alone or Choosing a Fundraising Partner," tackles this question head-on, describing what companies would be a suitable fit for fundraising partners, providing a breakdown of the different types in the marketplace today, and advising readers on how to go about vetting a potential partner.


We hope you enjoy this chapter. Next week, join us for "Chapter 4: Categories of Life Science Investors."
