Life Science Nation (LSN) is bringing the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) Conference series to Vienna
on
March 25th. In an effort to spread the word about RESI coming to Europe, myself, Greg Mannix (VP International BD, LSN) and Patrik Frei, (CEO, Venture Valuation (VV)) are heading out to give one-day boot camps on global fundraising, company valuation and licensing deal metrics.
The road trip will be quite the adventure. Starting tomorrow, I arrive in London for a round of discussion with some tech hub players, then off to Paris to do a workshop at Medicene, then on to Gothenburg and the AstraZeneca BioventureHub, then up to Stockholm with Sweden Bio at the H2 Health Hub, then on to the Novo Nordisk BioInnovation Institute in Copenhagen and finishing in Spain at the University of Barcelona Science Park. The LSN Fundraising Boot Camp is a vehicle to help startups and potential RESI attendees sharpen up their partner pitches, improve their marketing packages and help them address the all-important topics of valuation and licensing strategy, in addition to informing entrepreneurs about the ten categories of global investors that will be attending RESI. RESI is expected to bring 200-300 early-stage investors to gather in Vienna, including VC, PE, Big Pharma, Foundations, Angels, as well as featuring the Global Family Office BioForum led by Stetson Family Office...

An interview with Zohar Beeri, Chairman & CEO, Novotalk

Imagine you speak with a stutter. You take a speech therapy class, and it works! The stutter is gone. However, the symptoms start to come back, and you realize that only continuous practice will maintain your progress. So you create an app for that. This was the beginning of Novotalk, which aims to be a full-service speech therapy digital platform, helpful for all types of speech therapy, accessible to patients 24/7 and eliminating the need for office visits. This technology would allow patients to practice when they need it, would give measurable outcomes and could alter treatment strategies if necessary, to improve efficacy. I spoke with Zohar, who, along with his colleagues Lilach and Jonathan, generated a lot of excitement around Novotalk's technology, winning 1
st place in the Innovation Challenge at RESI SF on Jan 8

Karen Deyo (KD): Congratulations Zohar on winning the IC. How was your first experience at RESI?
Zohar Beeri (ZB):
Before coming to RESI, one of my colleagues was a bit skeptical, but at the end of the day, we all thought it was great! Having a conference dedicated to early-stage investing, with the speed-dating style meetings was very useful for making a lot of good connections with investors. There is no other event like it...
