A full day built around one question: how do investors actually decide? Connect puts VCs, corporate venture arms and funded emerging managers on stage to decode term sheets and the language of a deal, then flips it: reverse pitch sessions where investors pitch back to founders, in parallel tech and life science tracks. Tech and life science startups pitch live across two rooms, and partneringONE one-on-ones run all day alongside the sessions. Applications to pitch close September 18 (under $5M raised, with revenue, an FDA pre-sub, or POC on a lead indication depending on category).
