Recently, we hosted a dynamic panel session for a cohort of European biotech founders on a “tour” of #SiliconValley. In partnership with the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), the panel explored “Foundation Funding: How to Assess and Access” with industry innovators: Robin Ann McIntosh with Workit Health Ari Tuchman with Quantifind, Kim K. with Bay Bridge Ventures, moderated by Sarah Gerber Howard. The conversation provided a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that lie at the intersection of #socialimpact, #biotechnology, and #entrepreneurship.
