Venture Challenge Fall 2017: call open!
Do you have a high potential startup in the field of Drug Development, Diagnostics, Medical Devices or Bioinformatics and would you like to get specialised coaching? Sign up for the Venture Challenge Fall 2017! A 10-week coaching programme. You might take home the €25,000 prize money for your pitch after the programme.
The specialised coaching of ‘Life Sciences at Work’ (LS@W) from Health Holland focuses on developing your initial idea into a solid business case during an entrepreneurial approach with boot camps, 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring. Startup teams learn to identify key risks, analyse customer value propositions, develop a validation strategy, learn to build a venture plan and, ultimately, learn how to get connected.
Participating means accelerating!
The Venture Challenge is a bi-annual coaching programme. This Fall LS@W will organise the 18th edition. The programme consists of a series of boot camps and coaching sessions during which you will be introduced to representatives of all relevant early stage life Sciences investors. After the 10-week programme the teams are able to pitch for the Venture Challenge Jury. The best pitch and venture plan will take home the €25,000 prize money and will be publically announced at a large life sciences business conference offering great exposure.
How to enter?
When you have a team of at least three people, you can download Venture Challenge Proposal Form to apply for the programme.
