How are healthcare startups financed? Venture funds invest in risky companies but how do they themselves get funded, and how do they evaluate companies? How do company founders prepare for capital raising? How does intellectual property play? We explain both from the investor and founder viewpoints to analyze how to a) start a venture capital fund; b) present a healthcare company to a venture fund. We discuss financial frameworks specifically for the healthcare sector and how it differs to other segments. Additionally, guest lectures from venture capitalists, angel investors, and company founders will explain their respective perspectives.
