Wilson Sonsini is proud to support LaunchBio for its next Larger Than Life Science event. An in-depth panel discussion will focus on angel investors and their critical role in funding early-stage life science startups. Speakers will explore how angel investment groups have evolved over the years, from informal networks to sophisticated organizations with defined investment theses, strategic syndication practices, and growing influence in the life sciences startup ecosystem.

The event will cover:

How today’s angel groups evaluate opportunities in biotech, medtech, and diagnostics;

• Typical check sizes and what angels expect in return
• The process of engaging with angel investors and what diligence looks like
• How angel groups syndicate with other angels and VC firms to fill a round
• What founders need to know to get on their radar—and stay there

Whether you're actively raising capital or want to better understand the early-stage funding landscape, this is a conversation for you. Enjoy happy hour and heavy appetizers by California English, courtesy of Longfellow.
