What is your Company Worth? The Art of Company Valuation

Founders Circle is an in-person discussion forum for life science startup founders and C-level executives. This series is facilitated by industry experts and investment professionals and centers on business challenges that all early-stage life science companies face. Discuss innovative growth strategies and learn from the experiences of an exclusive network of your peers.

Participation in Founders Circle is limited and will be approved by LaunchBio.

You’ve started your life science company and are now working on a proof of concept and a plan for commercialization. Your innovation may drive the development of new drugs, diagnostics, or technology platforms to help patients. As you form partnerships to take your enterprise to the next level, the question will arise: What is your company worth?

This small group session will focus on understanding the value of a company’s underlying assets, even without launched products, revenue or pre-clinical milestones. The facilitators will review several approaches to asset validation in the life sciences, discuss some common mistakes in IP licensing that can impact a company’s worth, and look at best practices in data-driven approaches to setting valuations.

Founders Circle forums are reserved for founders and C-level executives of start-up life science companies. The event is co-hosted with Biolabs and there will be refreshments and networking following the discussion.

Please note that this forum is for founders and C-level executives. Space is limited to 40 participants.
