During the pitch speed dating session, participants will rotate through a series of rapid-fire meetings with healthcare-focused venture capitalists. They'll have the opportunity to present your idea, respond to questions, and receive personalised feedback.

Why you should join:

Great science isn't enough you need to tell a story people understand and believe in.
Investors, partners, and stakeholders won’t act on data alone. They respond to a clear narrative that highlights relevance, value, and impact.

Storytelling is a critical skill for healthcare innovators.
Whether you’re applying for a grant, pitching to a VC, or presenting to a health system, how you communicate matters as much as what you're building.

You can simplify your science without losing credibility.
Learning how to communicate complex ideas clearly is a strength — not a compromise.

Clinicians and researchers can make powerful founders — with the right support.
This workshop provides the tools, feedback, and confidence to take your insight beyond the lab or clinic.

Real feedback from real funders accelerates your growth.
You’ll leave this workshop knowing what resonates, what needs refining, and how to position your innovation for success.
