TESTIMONIALS:

“The unique roundtable event was an effective and efficient means to meet entrepreneurs in the first phases of company creation. I met over a dozen startups within my focus areas within life sciences. These included biotech instrumentation, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical devices. Three of these introductions led to business plan reviews and meetings between founders and my venture firm. I continue to work with one of these companies today and anticipate venture financing.”

Former General Partner, Latterell Venture Partners

"I found the BayBioNEST roundtables a very useful occasion to meet with some of the V.C.s informally and learn of their investing interest. In fact, I got reacquainted with one of them in the meeting and he ended up being one of my lead investors!”
