What to expect
Part of DC Startup and Tech Week and BioBuzz's Insights to Impact series, this curated, peer to peer program looks at what breaks as life sciences companies scale past Series A, why readiness decisions get made earlier than expected, and what to build now to prepare for a raise, acquisition, IPO or other transaction. It is presented by BioBuzz and hosted at PwC, whose Emerging Company Solutions practice is the venue host and a sponsor.
Who should attend
Life sciences founders and leaders, investors, and finance, legal and operations leaders in the BioHealth Capital Region.
