Calling All Startups! Business Plan & Pitch Deck Immersion Program

Do you have a biomedical technology or medical innovation you want to take to market?

Learn how to wow investors and secure funding to launch your business through this 10-week Immersion Program from the New England Medical Innovation Center (NEMIC) and Advance-CTR.

In this program, faculty entrepreneurs will receive one-on-one coaching from experts on how to hone your business plan and develop the perfect pitch deck to hook investors and secure funding.

How It Works

Faculty will meet with NEMIC’s experts for 2 hours every two weeks based on their schedule over 10 weeks to refine each element of their business plan and pitch deck with investors in mind. Areas of focus include market and market size, financial projections, organizational structure, and more. At the end of the program, each company will present their final pitch deck to the group.

Physician scientists and junior faculty are encouraged to apply, and NEMIC will work with the participants to determine a timeframe that works for each group’s schedule.
