On Tuesday, October 8, from 3:30 p.m. - 4:25 p.m., Knobbe Martens Partner Andrew Merickel, will be a panelist on "Crowdfunding in Healthcare and Biotech – Will it Bridge the “Valley of Death”? at the BIO Investor Forum in San Francisco, CA.

Smaller private companies are constantly in search of capital, but many find it difficult to navigate the step between a “friends & family” round or one with angels and an initial venture round. Crowdfunding has been used in a limited number of examples for life science companies, but where is this pathway heading? How should a company look at opportunities for crowdfunding? The panel will look at life of a small company, as a CEO moderator asks a set of investors and others about both crowdfunding and other pathways.

The BIO Investor Forum is an international biotech investor conference focused on early and established private companies as well as emerging public companies. The event features plenary sessions, business roundtables and therapeutic workshops, company presentations, and One-on-One partnering meetings.
