Save the Date! LSS 2022

November 2-3, 2022 | Virtual

The Life Sciences Summit is an exclusive early stage investor and business development conference that highlights innovation. The objective of the event is to provide an intimate setting allowing emerging biotech companies and academic innovators to connect with the capital and strategic partners they will need to move new discoveries through clinical development.

The virtual 2022 program features thought provoking plenary sessions, presentations by promising young companies with transformative science, the “innovation pipeline” featuring academic innovators and pre-seed stage companies working on cutting edge technologies, and 1:1 networking opportunities.

Led by experts from BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting, join our live Virtual Classroom for an interactive, 2 day SBIR/STTR workshop. We’ll review the basics including program purpose; eligibility; and sources of funding. Then we’ll provide proposal prep essentials of the NIH and NSF programs. In addition to up-to-date information on the SBIR/STTR programs, we will cover:

  • NIH and NSF grant mechanisms and where to find them
  • How to find the program officers, how to approach them, what questions to ask
  • How to do research using the web tools available (eReporter, SBIR.gov, etc.)
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them, and much more.

Workshop registration fee: $25.00. Please register online: https://cfbsbirtrain2021b.eventbrite.com

Workshop is produced by the Center for Biotechnology at Stony Brook University and in partnership with Columbia Technology Ventures.

The video modules and course details can be found here: https://www.nibib.nih.gov/entrepreneurial-finance-course The National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports the development and commercialization of biomedical technologies through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. With the goal of bringing life-saving innovations to market, NIH SBIR/STTR funding provides early-stage seed capital to US-owned small businesses. While the commercialization of biomedical technologies can require a significant amount of both time and money, rigorous financial planning can help navigate and mitigate risks for small businesses and can enhance chances of success along the pathway to market. For biomedical innovators considering funding through the NIH SBIR/STTR programs (https://sbir.nih.gov), it is imperative to evaluate the use of federal grant funding within the context of a broader financial plan. Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to present biomedical entrepreneurs with a detailed framework for building a step-wise, validated financial plan. Moving beyond the short-term perspective of immediate financing needs to a comprehensive, long-term financial plan will increase the probability of success for your venture. The primary learning objectives for this course are as follows: - Understand the importance of financial planning for your small business - Gain perspective on SBIR/STTR funding within the broader context of your financial plan - Learn practical approaches to developing a long-term financial plan - Evaluate the various sources of funding - Examine the use of comparables in validating your financial plan   [post_title] => Free Course from NIH: Entrepreneurial Finance for Biomedical Innovators [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => free-course-from-nih-entrepreneurial-finance-for-biomedical-innovators [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2018-12-17 20:28:10 [post_modified_gmt] => 2018-12-17 20:28:10 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://centerforbiotechnology.org/?p=3099 [menu_order] => 109 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [3] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 1475 [post_author] => 3 [post_date] => 2015-03-26 16:37:02 [post_date_gmt] => 2015-03-26 16:37:02 [post_content] => Eavesdropping on Investors' Closed Door Discussions" 1st Pitch Life Sciences Meeting Tuesday, April 14, 2015 5:30pm - 8:30pm Hear what happens after a start-up company presents to an investor group. Usually after the company representatives leave the room the investors have a private discussion to decide whether the opportunity merits further investigation and possible investment. 1st Pitch Life Science offers presenters and audience members the chance to hear what happens in those closed-door discussion, and to learn what really matters to investors. 1st Pitch Life Science is organized by MABA (Mid Atlantic Bio Angels www.bioangels.net), a life science investor group, to encourage and educate aspiring life science entrepreneurs who know they may be too early or not fully prepared to seek investment but want the opportunity to practice their pitch and to receive constructive criticism from experienced and knowledgeable professionals.
