The second event scheduled for June 23, 2011 is ”I have an idea. How do I get funding?”
The New Hampshire Bio/Medical Council sponsors a series of education events called Best In Bio. The next event scheduled for June 23, 2011 is titled ”I have an idea. How do I get funding?” All biomedical companies started from an idea to make things better, faster, less expensive or to solve a real medical problem. Many additional great ideas do not get to the market place because of a lack of funding. The health care and life sciences sectors have been growing in the past year with increases in angel and venture capital funding. The New Hampshire Bio/Med Council has brought together industry experts to discuss this important aspect of our business and to answer your questions.
Angel funding – Healthcare services and medical devices and equipment accounted for the largest share of angel investments according to a report released in April by the Center for Venture Research at UNH. The Center for Venture Research is a multidisciplinary research unit of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. The Center’s principal area of expertise is in the study of early stage equity financing for high growth ventures. The Center for Venture Research, since its inception in 1984, has undertaken and published numerous studies in the area of early-stage equity financing of entrepreneurial ventures. The Center has appeared on CNBC, MSNBC, National Public Radio, NHPTV’s NH Outlook, and has been quoted in several publications including Inc., Forbes, Fortune, Red Herring, Business Week, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Financial Times. The NH Bio/Medical Council is pleased to announce that Jeffrey Sohl, the Director of the Center for Venture Research, will be a panel member.
Venture Capital – Medical device and medtech companies comprised the second largest category of companies receiving venture capital (VC) investments in 2010. New England and specifically New Hampshire continue to attract VC funding at rates significantly higher than 2009. The NH Bio/Med Council has invited regional venture capital professionals to join this panel.
Attend this outstanding program if you are planning to start a company or are interested in finding funding for an idea you have. This will be of interest to all medical device and biotech professionals along with R&D, academic and clinical professional with a great idea.
