The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), in partnership with 12 state biotechnology associations and BIOTECanada will bring venture capitalists together with promising seed, early- and late-stage private biotechnology product and platform companies from the East Coast.  The conference will showcase 120 individual company presentations to leading North American venture capital firms in the life sciences field.  Workshops and plenary sessions will be offered on trends in the biotech industry, with special focus on key success factors for early stage companies, R&D, market trends, and financing.  In addition, there will be formal and informal networking opportunities with industry CEOs and venture capital leaders.

To ensure high quality deal flow, an advisory board made up of 30 equity capital leaders will review and evaluate the corporate profiles of companies through an application process. Selected entrepreneurs will also attend regional BIO VentureForum Bootcamps to be intensively coached and provided with the tools needed to refine their presentations and grow their enterprises.
