Meet with…Pandemic Investors – Hosted by JLabs

The current pandemic has brought to the forefront the need for new solutions that can bolster our preparedness and the need to invest in potential solutions today that could help us be better prepared for the known and unknown threats of tomorrow. Venture funds and angel investors are seeking to do this by investing in a wide range of opportunities that focus on pandemic detection, mitigation, and future resilience.

Join us for a special presentation to learn more about the investment strategy for investing in potential solutions that may have a meaningful impact towards addressing future health threats. Characteristics and technologies of interest may include:

• Alternative Delivery Platforms
• Drug Discovery Platforms
• Agnostic Detection Platforms

Representatives from BARDA Ventures and Rockies Venture Club (RVC) will provide insight into what investors need to see when investing in pandemic preparedness solutions, investment categories, and characteristics of technologies support and educational programming to support potential preparedness solutions.

1-on-1 and live pitching opportunities 
To help you further understand their philosophies and key questions that arise when pitching investors in pandemic preparedness, pre-selected companies will pitch live during the event. The pitch and Q & A sessions should help you gain a better understanding of the insights investors want to learn from entrepreneurs. The companies pitching live will be notified on August 20th.
