Healthtech: Built Different

What does it actually take to build a healthtech company?
Join Assuric, NXGN and LIHE for an afternoon bringing together healthtech founders, investors, regulators and clinicians to unpack the journey from idea to impact.
Across the afternoon, we’ll explore three sides of building in healthtech:
Build it: from idea to impact.Founders from pre-seed to Series B+ share how they got started, what changed as they grew, and what went wrong along the way. Expect honest lessons on the decisions that mattered and what they’d do differently.
Prove it: from compliance to contract.Regulatory experts, NHS procurement leads and founders who have taken products to market will unpack how to get a product certified, trusted and procured, and how to navigate regulation without derailing your timeline.
Fund it: from bootstrapped to backed.A fireside chat on how funding decisions are really made. We’ll cover VC, angel and grant funding, and when dilutive or non-dilutive funding makes sense.
There will also be a live pitch event, giving early-stage healthtech founders the opportunity to pitch their companies to a panel of VC and investment judges. Sign up to pitch via this link!
We’ll finish with drinks and networking, bringing together the people building, backing and shaping the next generation of healthtech.
