Founders of health science companies are asked to do it all - take a key scientific discovery or theory and show their stakeholders how they plan to turn it into a commercial success. Being a great scientist or clinician is not enough - communication plays a pivotal role in conveying your rationale to a diverse group of stakeholders - investors, customers, partners, suppliers, regulators, attorneys, employees, doctors, patients, caregivers and advocacy groups. Effectively communicating the company story is one of the biggest challenges for today’s founders. Donna LaVoie is founder of a communications firm that crafts presentations for startups through public companies. Learn how to make your presentation comprehensive, succinct, accurate, specific, understandable and interesting and prepare for investors.
