Pitch online to Lifesciences CVC's/VC's/Angels + Investor Meet @UCB
The picture above is from the 4th Pitch Global CVC Leadership Summit showcasing leaders from the SK Group and Niterra Venture Labs. SK Group is the largest investor in Lifesciences in Korea, and our sponsor, Niterra Venture Labs (rebranded from NGK Spark Plug Co. Ltd), is investing $ 1 billion in startups, 50% of which is in Lifesciences/Health Tech. Many Tech CVCs & investors in our ecosystem have started investing in Lifesciences/Health Tech in all stages, and this event will begin with a discourse on this topic.
Join us online for this monthly pitch event co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension, now in the 7th year of partnership. Every presenter gets one meeting in separate breakout rooms organized by UC Berkeley at the end of the event and the contact info of all presenters are distributed to our investor list. Pitch Global is also a long term affiliate of Funding & Mentoring Programs of CA Govt; the following Case Study shows on one of their sites shows how we helped raise $ 29 M www.norcalsbdc.org/client-stories/axbio & it also demonstrates how we are connected to the State.

Some Pitch Global Updates:
As a long-term affiliate of the California Governor's Office of Economic Development Agencies such as Norcal SBDC, TFG, SJSU Innovation, etc., Pitch Global has been building the Silicon Valley CVC Network with their support since the pandemic. Through this effort, we discovered that CVCs are trending towards investing in early startups and those of all stages.
