For investors and life science entrepreneurs seeking new business opportunities, the SLS conference is one the best places to find your next de-risked investment or partnership.
FROM AN INNOVATOR
Three weeks before the 2015 conference, SweetBio wasn’t even incorporated. Six months later, Innova and MB Venture Partners co-led a significant seed round to support FDA 510(k) clearance of our honey-incorporated advanced wound care product. From that first conference, gaining insights and feedback from Randy Scott, David Huizenga, Chris Hooper, and others helped shape our company. From investor insights to introductions to industry advisors and fellow peers, this event has us coming back year after year.

FROM AN INNOVATOR
“This conference provided us an incredible opportunity to connect with a large number of diverse life science professionals, which is not always easy to do for life science companies headquartered in the heartland. The exposure to investors and collaborators was instrumental to our early stage company.”

FROM AN INVESTOR
“HealthQuest partners are active participants in reviewing early stage businesses and investing across the healthcare spectrum – including medical devices, healthcare information technologies, diagnostics, novel delivery systems that improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. We find PitchRounds an early preview of companies that are rapidly growing and might become opportunities for investing as they seek growth capital.”

According to pitchbook data accumulated by our leadership committee more than 400 late and early stage companies have participated in previous SE BIO and SEMDA forums. To date, they have raised more than $5 billion in public and private funding.
“Three weeks before SEMDA 2015, SweetBio wasn’t even incorporated. Six months later, Innova and MB Venture Partners co-led a $900,000 seed round to support FDA 510(k) clearance and commercialization of the company’s Guided Tissue Regeneration Membrane (GTR).”

Universities and Corporations
Move your research or innovation into the commercialization pathway.
We accumulate investors once a year to make it more efficient to move your researchers’ innovation opportunities into a commercialization pathway. For larger corporations and ‘strategic investors,’ we provide an efficient, concentrated platform on which partnerships are built and early stage companies can grow into your next acquisition.


Solution Providers
Find your next life science client or partner.
Most innovative life sciences companies, especially “up-and-comers,” are going to need quality expertise in IP, regulatory, reimbursement, design and development and preclinical services. Southeast Life Sciences and the AdvanSE Conference gives these providers the opportunity to take on the best of those innovators as clients. We also help pre-qualify your business for future development opportunities.
