The team from Pancare Foundation's Par 5 Business Program had a cracking session this afternoon. The focus was on our progress in the development of #par5#business#marketplace tools, reporting and governance processes that will ensure we stay ahead of the scale-up demands of the program.
For this session, Doug Hawkins, Rebecca Adams, Brett Lever and myself were joined by a bit of a Pancare legend. Until recently Bob Crotty was the #managingdirector of Floorworld, and has been instrumental in the ongoing evolution of Pancare's business #partnership program. Bob remains highly involved as an Advisory Committee member for Par 5.
Bob brings a vital injection of #creativity, objectivity, #lateralthinking and #commercial wisdom to Par 5 - and today was no exception. Elements of today's session will form the exciting building blocks of the next #evolution of what is already a highly #innovative program. We will always be listening, questioning, challenging and refining Par 5 with a single focus in mind:
👉 To enhance Par 5 #member value and drive business marketplace growth to deliver greater funding into #cancerreseach.
A big thank you to our panelists on our recent investor panel, held in conjunction with Springboard's Healthcare and Technology Accelerator program! Thank you, Eileen Wu, for leading the insightful discussion on the current funding environment in life sciences and digital health with our incredible investors Petra Meyer, Maria Forero, MPH, CPA, and Kate Wolin.
💡Key Takeaways for Founders💡
In the current funding environment, things are taking longer, but there are key strategies founders can use to stand out:
1️⃣ Data & Validation Are Critical – Investors want more validation and data. Risk mitigation is a higher priority than return optimization.
2️⃣ Build Trust – Tell the momentum story and highlight clear milestones.
3️⃣ Stay Focused – Narrow in on your wedge, rather than presenting multiple assets.
4️⃣ Strategic Relationships Matter – Build relationships beyond investors, including clinical partners and other stakeholders who will drive long-term success.
