Legal advice Prize from Piper Alderman worth $X…
Overview
Women’s Health is having a moment – a long, long awaited moment. With the women’s health generally being ignored for so long, the field is wide open for research and startups addressing the wide array of health issues that have no solutions. Never has there been a better time to move forward with women’s health focused research or startups.
This event is designed to showcase great women’s health research and startups through a series of rapid-fire one-minute pitches, networking opportunities and a focus on the funding options available in this area. There is a panel to showcase the ‘capital stack’ or ‘blended finance’ pathway from early-stage research to scale up, covering grants to investment.
The audience will include investors, government, large organisations and all those interested in women’s health. The aim of this event is to create meaningful, concrete connections.
To help get great initiatives and ideas on the map, we invite researchers and startups to submit an EOI (link) for a series of rapid-fire one-minute pitches. Undiagnosed will select the pitches.
Our Sponsor: Piper Alderman – Our thanks to Piper Alderman for hosting our event tonight and making available the prize.
