Princeton Alumni Angels: NYC Healthcare & Life Sciences Pitch Night

*** Princeton Alumni Angels: NYC Healthcare/Life Sciences Pitch Night ***

Wednesday, February 19th (6:00-9:00pm), Goodwin Procter (620 8th Ave., 26th Fl.)

Princeton Alumni Angels of Greater New York (PAAGNY) invites you to our NYC Healthcare and Life Sciences Pitch Night, where accredited investors will have the opportunity to meet the companies, who will present information about their business and take questions from the audience.

The four (4) presenting companies, representing a wide variety of sectors within the healthcare industry, have been selected by a panel of over 60 PAAGNY volunteers after screening of submitted pitch decks and video calls with our shortlisted companies.

All four presenting startups have a Princeton founder and/or CEO.  The startups include:

• A precision oncology startup developing targeted solutions to diagnose and treat metastatic solid tumor cancers

• A startup with a game-changing, low-cost product to disrupt the opioid antidote market

• A startup with a mobile app that aims to revolutionize the diagnosis, treatment and care for injured children worldwide, addressing critical gaps in pediatric trauma care that lead to unnecessary death, significant complications and increased healthcare costs

• A startup that leverages proprietary gene-editing tools and the power of CRISPR to create custom, knock-in cell lines for drug discovery, toxicology and other biologic research

This event is open to accredited investors (limited to those with a close affiliation with Princeton and their spouses/family members), presenting companies and a limited number of volunteers (please e-mail robwolk1@hotmail.com if you are interested in volunteering at the event - accredited investors are NOT eligible to be volunteers).  

The cost of the event is $35 (plus Eventbrite fees), and includes a networking reception at 6pm with food (sandwiches/sushi) and water/soda/coffee, presentations by four exciting start-ups and early stage companies, and a chance to talk to founders and network with fellow investors after the presentations.
