Join investors and advisors who are actively deploying capital and structuring deals across North America: Lu Han (Lumira Ventures), Judyanna Yu (One Six 8 Ventures), and Adam Falconi (Mintz LLP), moderated by Jason Ding (Deloitte).

​This panel will unpack how investment decisions actually get made—what signals readiness, what raises concern, and what separates fundable companies from the rest.

​Expect a candid discussion on diligence, deal dynamics, and what "smart money" really looks like in practice—including how the right investor can shape your company's trajectory long after the cheque is written.

​Designed for founders and operators building in life sciences who are preparing to raise, currently fundraising, or thinking about their next stage of growth.
