#15: LSG2G #12 - How to Invest in Life Science
Everybody comes in touch with the life science industry. Hardly anybody knew about the challenges, and hardships scientists have to overcome to bring a product from the university-level to the market.
Since the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, more and more people are becoming interested in life science investments. And ask the question: How does that work?
In this episode, I am talking with entrepreneurs and investors from the LSG2G network. How do life science investments work? What are investors looking at? Is the life science industry right for Business Angels? What does it take to bring a product to the market?
All these questions I discussed with the keynote speaker and panelists.
