    Giovanni Lauricella from Lifeblood shared invaluable insights on talent acquisition's impact on fundraising and milestone achievement at the MedTech Innovator 2024 summit! Key take-aways from the session include: 🔹 Investors seek either a seasoned team or advisory board to bolster a less experienced team's prospects. 🔹 Beware of having seasoned advisors with minimal time or commitment – this can backfire during due diligence. 🔹 Strategic recruitment and hiring processes are crucial to building a dedicated team, thereby enhancing funding opportunities. #MTI24 #MedTech #Innovation #TalentAcquisition #Fundraising #KeyInsights
