SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: The Scientist-CEO Communication Trap: Why Brilliant Founders Create the Exact Problem That Stalls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Dr. Yoanne Clovis as she explores how PhD and MD founders can adapt their communication approach as their companies grow. \nAs the scientist who discovered and developed your product\, you are the best person in the company to explain the science to other experts in your field. You can close the first round and convince the first hires\, usually also scientists. But scientists often fall into the expert trap\, when your deep expertise prevents them from connecting with non-experts\, like angel investors and non-scientist executives who could become your next hire or your next partner. What made you credible in the lab becomes a liability as the team grows. \nThis session looks at the specific pattern PhD and MD founders fall into somewhere between fifteen people and sixty: the founder keeps leaning on the science and insists on leading the communications alone\, long after the company has outgrown that approach. Dr. Clovis will walk through when things tend to change structurally\, why “I’ll handle it myself” stops working\, and what early-stage and pre-Phase II leaders can put in place now to maintain scientific integrity while growing the company. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Patent Pitfalls: The Early Mistakes That Come Back to Bite You
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Oliver Richards and Madelyn McCormick as they explore the common patent mistakes that early-stage companies make and how to avoid costly issues down the road. Most patent mistakes are cheap to avoid and expensive to fix. The trouble is that the fixing usually happens years later\, in a licensing dispute\, a due-diligence review\, or a courtroom\, long after the startup that made the mistake has moved on. This session looks at the most common patent errors early-stage companies make\, from public disclosures that quietly forfeit foreign rights\, to ownership and inventorship gaps\, to provisional applications that don’t actually protect what the founders think they do. \nRather than a checklist of best practices\, the talk works backward from how these mistakes surface once a patent is challenged or enforced\, from the vantage point of a patent litigator who spends his days on the consequences. Attendees will leave with a practical sense of which early decisions actually matter\, which ones are recoverable\, and where a modest investment of attention up front saves a great deal of money and heartburn later. \nWatch HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Are You Lender Ready? Unlocking Capital with SBA Revolving Lines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Matthew Schmidt as he shares practical strategies for preparing your business for financing and making the most of SBA lending programs. This session will cover what lenders look for when evaluating loan applications\, as well as how SBA revolving lines of credit can help businesses manage cash flow\, support operations\, and position themselves for growth. \nSBA “Are You Lender Ready?” \nThe SBA’s “Are You Lender Ready?” presentations are designed to help entrepreneurs think like a bank and successfully navigate the commercial loan process. These sessions unpack critical underwriting criteria—such as credit scores\, cash flow\, and financial statements—while teaching owners how to build a compelling loan package. By learning how to present a solid business pitch and connecting directly with local lenders\, participants gain the practical tools needed to transition from seeking capital to securing it. \nUnlocking Capital: Maximizing the Power of SBA Revolving Lines \n“Unlocking Capital” focuses on utilizing flexible\, short-term financing—like CAP Lines and the Working Capital Pilot Program—to optimize day-to-day business operations. Unlike standard term loans\, these revolving lines allow owners to draw funds as needed to manage uneven cash flow\, cover seasonal inventory\, or fund payroll. By leveraging accounts receivable or purchase orders\, businesses can secure higher advance rates and lower interest costs\, providing the sustained liquidity required to scale and fulfill larger contracts. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: From Half-Baked to Fully-Baked: Getting Your Product Right for Faster Market Uptake
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered if your product truly has the upside you believe\, or have sold to your investors? Given the high failure rate of new products\, it’s worth understanding what separates the winners from the losers\, and how to better identify which path you’re on. \n“From Half-Baked to Fully-Baked: Getting Your Product Right for Faster Market Uptake” is designed for entrepreneurs who run lean and can’t afford a new product failure. The talk is based on case studies from local Inc. 5000 companies that\, while highly capable\, made costly product missteps due to overconfidence and hubris. \nJoin Kevin Renner\, a business coach\, go-to-market strategy advisor\, and fractional CMO\, who helps emerging companies accelerate growth by getting their products right and their stories straight. \nWatch HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Leadership R&D- How to Lead Yourself & Your Team Through...Well\, Anything
DESCRIPTION:Being in bioscience\, your world is all about R&D—Research and Development. It’s the protocols\, the trials\, and the data. And there’s another R&D…the one that kicks in when your experiment fails\, funding gets weird\, or your team is just plain burnt out. This is Leadership R&D—Resilience and Determination. It’s the core skill set for navigating the uncertainty\, failure\, and long-term grind of innovation.  \nCome spend your lunch hour to get research-backed\, practical tools to build real resilience for yourself\, and learn how to create an environment where your team can do the same. Join business coach Josh Ellison for a candid\, insightful\, and supportive session where you’ll walk away with strategies you can use to practice Leadership R&D that same afternoon. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creating and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board of directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls. \nSecond\, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey. \nVideo recording HERE \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: AI-Powered Clinical Trials: De-Risking Enrollment\, Timelines\, and Investor Confidence for Biotech Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Clinical trials are the single biggest operational and financial risk for small to mid-size biotech companies. Fifty to eighty percent of trials miss enrollment targets\, unplanned amendments cost $150-300K each\, and database lock delays push readouts back months. For companies with just 18-24 months of runway\, every setback erodes investor confidence\, delays financing\, and gives faster rivals the edge. This session tackles the five pain points keeping CEOs awake: on-time First Patient In\, fewer costly amendments\, better enrollment and retention\, faster database lock\, and predictable execution that protects investor confidence. \nLearn how AI\, already delivering measurable results for IQVIA\, ICON\, and Syneos Health\, can cut timelines 20%\, boost recruitment 26%\, and preserve $15-22M of runway per Phase 2b/3 trial. Walk away with a practical roadmap from targeted pilots to portfolio-wide adoption that turns clinical trial risk into a competitive advantage. Join us and give your next trial the advantage it deserves. \nRegister for free HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: FDA Meetings-Strategies for Success
DESCRIPTION:As part two of our three-part Virtual Lunch & Learn series on U.S. drug development\, this session will focus on the critical role of FDA interactions in a successful pharmaceutical development strategy. \nPart 2 will provide a more in-depth understanding of communications with the FDA to facilitate successful product development. We will discuss the different types of interactions and meetings available to sponsors during critical points in the regulatory and strategic product development process. Positive and productive interactions are important to the program; these interactions and associated timelines need to be considered in the overall development program. Interactions help the sponsor to understand the role of the FDA and product-specific offices and\, more importantly\, provide feedback and guidance on the development program. \nJoin us for this essential session to learn how to optimize FDA interactions\, navigate regulatory touchpoints\, and integrate agency feedback into a streamlined development strategy. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Introduction to Drug Regulation and the IND Process Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging and informative Virtual Lunch & Learn series\, where we will dive deep into the key aspects of drug development in the U.S. This 3-part series is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the critical steps\, strategies\, and regulatory considerations that drive successful pharmaceutical product development. Whether you’re new to the industry or looking to expand your knowledge\, this series will offer valuable insights into the regulatory landscape and the processes that shape the future of medicine. \nThe program is designed as a 3-part series: \nPart 1 will introduce the history of drug development in the U.S. and the Investigational New Drug (IND) application process\, which enables the introduction of investigational products into clinical studies. The IND application process and procedures will be presented\, and the phases of clinical development will be reviewed. We will discuss the importance of regulatory strategy and interactions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the overall development program for pharmaceutical products. \nPart 2 will provide a more in-depth understanding of communications with the FDA to facilitate successful product development. We will discuss the different types of interactions and meetings available to sponsors during critical points in the regulatory and strategic product development process. Positive and productive interactions are important to the program; these interactions and associated timelines need to be considered in the overall development program. Interactions help the sponsor to understand the role of the FDA and product-specific offices and\, more importantly\, provide feedback and guidance on the development program. \nPart 3 will present the mechanisms that exist to expedite approval of products in the U.S. for the treatment of life-threatening diseases and conditions. The goal of these programs is to accelerate the availability of new therapies to patients with serious conditions\, especially when there are no satisfactory alternatives. The benefits of each program will be reviewed\, and the data requirements for successful application will be discussed. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of drug development and regulatory strategy—reserve your spot today! \nRegister HERE
