Boston PitchFest - Biotech Edition
Boston PitchFest – Biotech Edition
Calling all entrepreneurs in Therapeutics, Platforms, and Diagnostics! Whether you're in the early stages or gearing up for your next funding round, this event has something for you.
Pitch Tracks:
Pre-seed → Seed
Seed → Series A
Each startup will have the chance to pitch to a panel of at least 4 investors per track. You’ll have 90 seconds to pitch followed by 90 seconds of Q&A to make your case in a private session with the investors. These will be verbal sessions (no decks here).
From there, the top 3 startups in each track will be selected to pitch again—this time for 5 minutes in front of the larger audience with their deck, plus 5 minutes of Q&A. Winners will be chosen at the end of the event.
Meanwhile, founders, leaders, and investors will be networking throughout, providing a prime opportunity to forge valuable connections and share insights.
This is your chance to connect with diverse investors, showcase your vision, and gain exposure to what’s next in the biotech space. The audience will also get an inside look at what’s on the horizon and what VCs are truly seeking.
To capture all the action, Leader Bank will be on hand recording videos and photos for social media and newsletter promotion.
