This year, for the first time, we’ll be visiting universities and institutions to meet founders who are focused on building biotech and healthcare companies.
Since 2014, YC has funded over 250 bio, healthcare, and life science companies, making us one of the largest seed stage bio/healthcare funders in the world. YC partner Jared Friedman and visiting partner Dr. Uri Lopatin will host firesides where they’ll share what they’ve learned working closely with hundreds of bio founders and how they predict the fundraising landscape will change in the next decade.
We’ll also host office hours where founders will have the chance to meet with Jared and Uri directly. If you’re looking for advice on turning your research into a company, have questions about fundraising or about YC, we hope to meet you.
