« Last week, I participated in the last workshop and with that completed a series of four workshops designed for biotech start-ups, organized by Swiss HLG, BaseLaunch, and Johnson & Johnson Innovation under the heading “Swiss Healthcare Startup Partnering Initiative, 2024”. It was the second edition of this program. Primary goal was to prepare us for fundraising, focusing on creating a pitch deck, pitching, valuation, and deal structure. I found the entire workshop series to be exceptionally valuable. The quality of the speakers was outstanding—they brought great expertise and provided deep insights into each topic. Each session was well-structured and incredibly informative, offering practical advice and real-world examples that were directly applicable to our start-up journey. This workshop series not only equipped us with the necessary skills for successful fundraising, expanded our network and boosted our confidence in presenting our business ideas. I would highly recommend these workshops to any biotech start-up looking to refine their fundraising strategy and improve their overall business acumen. »
