<SPAN STYLE="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-size: small;">More and more US companies are turning to China, both to raise capital and prepare for a first launch. The rewards can be rich, but ex-China companies have to play by certain rules and find partners who can help. In this session, we will explore how to create early-stage ventures in China with Chinese partners – and how not to.

<SPAN STYLE="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">As capital from traditional US private investors becomes hard to find, many US start-ups are focusing their hopes on Chinese investors who are able and willing to invest in US companies. In this session, we will learn the best way to think about Chinese investment, how best to approach and vet Chinese investors, and how, if at all, Chinese investors differ from their US counterparts.

In this session, we will hear from investors from Europe, Israel, Taiwan, and other geographies about the venture scenes there.

Afternoon Sessions
 New Sources of Capital Impact MedTech Startups
 
1:00 – 2:00   Three Key Players Discuss What Is Really Going on With Funding in the U.S.
Finding capital for early stage MedTech continues to be challenging. Who is investing at the early stage? What do deals look like? How can a startup improve its prospects for raising capital?

<SPAN STYLE="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Healthcare systems are important customers for the technologies we develop. What happens when those customers are also investors in innovative technology? Can they re-shape the direction of technology development? As cost-constrained end-users, do they think differently about the kinds of devices they would like to see come to market?

<SPAN STYLE="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Once relegated to late-stage investments only, corporate investors are moving earlier in the funding cycle, while at the same time boosting the likelihood of an exit through structured deals that tee up an acquisition. But if there are enhanced opportunities in such deals, are there also enhanced risks?
