Our principal, Johanna S Dutton, PhD hosted two round tables for participants of the Startup Prize: Focus on Health online qualifying round!

Johanna gave insight on how to tell a compelling investment story when building something complex. She showed participants how to translate technical milestones into business value, communicate risk thoughtfully, and structure a development plan that builds confidence from preclinical to IND and beyond.

“It was a pleasure to host the two round table sessions with the inspiring entrepreneurs participating in Startup Prize. I really enjoyed connecting with the founders—their energy and thoughtful questions made for engaging conversation” Johanna added.
