We’re back and in-person!

We are delighted to partner with the Larta Institute, BioscienceLA, Biocom California, and UCLA to bring you captivating biomedical startup innovations, deep industry insights, unabashed cheerleading for life science in LA, and, of course, some fun!
The Innovation Showcase serves as a platform to showcase bioscience startups and early-stage technologies, with the aim of fostering meaningful connections and facilitating business discussions among entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, industry professionals, and service providers. It's a fantastic opportunity to network and explore potential collaborations.
Recent TLI Innovation Showcases have been resounding successes with each event having 300+ participants, distinguished startup selection panels of up to 50 judges, and 24-32 selected startup presentations from up to 80 submissions.

Past speakers have discussed various issues facing startups from infrastructure needs, to how government can assist startups, to the realities of what venture capitalists look for when making funding decisions. Former speakers have included: John Wetherell of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, LLP, Camille Samuels of Venrock, Rohit Shukla of The Larta Institute, Noah Craft of Science 37, Keith Hoffman and David Meyer from The Lundquist Institute, Susie Harborth of BioLabs, Jasson Crockett from the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti, David Coats of Correlation Ventures, Kevin Kinsella of Avalon Ventures, Milo Bissin of Silicon Valley Bank, Kevin Zhang of Upfront Ventures, Kara Bortone of JLABS, NIH SBIR/STTR Program Manager J.P.

We expect to have another rocking program for our 2023 event and look forward to your attendance!
