About the Event
For our October 31st webinar, Galen Data is honored to be joined by veteran MedTech innovator, board member, advisor, and venture capitalist, Ken Nelson of the MedTech Advantage Fund. Ken will share his career experiences spanning from advising prototype-stage companies, to helping raise major venture rounds, to taking companies through product launch. He will describe the methods and thought processes he's seen succeed in navigating the current funding environment and in building your commercial team as you go to market. This webinar will offer insights for MedTech companies at any stage and provide critical insights on how you can prepare for the “commercialization chasm”. We encourage you to join us for the conversation and Q&A with Ken, who possesses a rare depth of full-lifecycle expertise.
