Oregon Bioscience Incubator and OTRADI

Biotech startups - are you looking to raise private financing, or seeking regional or global licensing deals?

This virtual Lunch &amp; Learn is for anyone who is seeking to raise a private financing round, or seeking a regional or global licensing deal for a preclinical-stage program, clinical-stage program, or technology. Licensing is one of the most common collaborations in the life-science industry and licensing cash flows are also a significant source of non-dilutive financing. However, how to effectively license-in/out an asset can be one of the obstacles, as these require connections and experiences. In this presentation, Gemseki will share the know-how of licensing and its Drug Candidate Marketplace with the audience.
