About this Event

Join us for an interactive session on mastering the art of the startup pitch with seasoned investors from Osage University Partners. Matt Cohen and Justin Robeny will share insider perspectives on what funders look for when evaluating early-stage science- and technology-based startups—and how you can position your company for success.

Drawing on years of experience reviewing pitch decks and meeting with entrepreneurs, our speakers will cover:

· How investors evaluate your company and technology

· Key questions to anticipate during funding discussions

· What to look for when selecting the right investor

· Current market trends in life sciences and physical sciences

Whether you're preparing for your first pitch or refining your approach, this session will equip you with practical strategies to tailor your presentation, communicate your value proposition effectively, and navigate the investor landscape with confidence.

This event is ideal for faculty entrepreneurs, startup founders, researchers exploring commercialization, and anyone interested in understanding the investor perspective. Come learn how to turn your pitch into a compelling case for investment.
