Venturing into Biotechnology (Hosted by EFCIE)
Starting any new venture as an entrepreneur is challenging, however there are some unique considerations for a start-up or spin-off in biotech. This presentation will describe the process of evaluating a new idea or technology and the formation of a new company, aspects that are specific to biotech development including the time and capital typically needed to get to a commercial product, how far the founder is going to take this towards that goal as the company scales up, and some of the difficult decisions to be made along the way. Strategies for managing risks will be discussed, along with practical advice for finding support, mentors, and ideally investors to enable your vision to become a viable company going forward.
