Marketing as a Competitive Advantage for Life Science Startups

This hybrid Lunch & Learn will focus on why it's critical to develop your marketing strategies early.

What are investors looking for in your pitch deck?  Financial projections (and milestone achievements), intellectual property and a clearly articulated value proposition that aligns with your SOM. Clearly defining and focusing on your value proposition can drive capital efficiency, business growth and success, and strong ROI on marketing spend.

Join Susan Willig, Founder of TrueNorth, proven marketing and brand strategist, and former VP of Edwards Lifesciences. Susan will share why it’s critical to develop your value proposition early; and how this helps your pitch stand out, inform your go-to-market plan (and even your product portfolio), and ultimately know where to focus your time, money, and resources to propel growth.
