SUMMARY:Creating an Effective Biotech Pitch Deck
DESCRIPTION:A pitch deck to investors is a “make it” or “break it” event for entrepreneurs and likely your only chance to convince investors of your technology’s value. Presenting your idea to biotechnology investors differs from other industries due to longer development timelines\, development costs\, navigating the FDA\, and years before turning a profit. Join us for our next ScienceDocs webinar\, as Dr. Schwartz discusses some of the most important “do’s” and “don’ts” of how to pitch your idea to investors. \nDr. Schwartz \nDr. Schwartz is a serial entrepreneur specializing in the launch of new companies from technologies originating from academic and government organizations.  He has been the co-founder and/or CEO of approximately ten companies\, mainly focused on the HealthIT/Biotechnology sectors. His efforts have raised millions in VC and grant funding. As a result\, these efforts led to FDA approval of a medical device and the progression of multiple oncology drug programs through IND to the clinic. At ScienceDocs\, he helps entrepreneurs and startup companies with developing business plans\, licensing\, funding raising\, and pre-clinical/clinical development pathways in the pharmaceutical and medical device space.

But what if you start playing a different game altogether? \nWhether you are a multinational corporation or two nerds in a basement\, you’re chasing goals\, making moves\, and looking to invest your energy where it counts. We’re here to tell you that the shortest path to success often only takes one single market differentiator — a unique value proposition\, or what Rick Hou calls your “Secret Sauce.” \nIn the past 15 years\, Rick has launched startups that have either become or have been purchased by fortune 500 companies. Rick has mastered the craft of pivoting with a rapidly changing market. Learn how to identify the value you pose to your audience\, avoid the pitfalls most likely to cause you to fail\, and leverage your greatest strengths to grow your company with lasting impact. \nAbout the speaker:\nRick Hou\n \nRick has over 15 years of experience in fundraising and launching startups in high-tech.
