June “Boot Camp” to Feature Financing Strategies for MedTech Startups, First-Ever “Entrepreneur of the Year” Award

June 22-Save the Date

 

On June 22, MassMEDIC will present a session on the fundamentals of financing a medtech enterprise, with particular emphasis on the key due diligence strategies companies must undertake when: pursuing angel investment; negotiating successfully with VCs; and attracting corporate investment. Industry leaders from Boston Harbor Angels; McDermott Will & Emery; Afferent Corporation and Medtronic will offer their guidance on how entrepreneurs can best make their companies fundable and how to avoid issues that kill deals.

The session will also feature a presentation by MIT spinout company Hemetrics Corporation, which is developing a technology to measure dehydration in congestive heart failure patients. Representatives from Hemetrics will present their company’s business model before a panel of medtech industry experts who will advise on the company’s distribution, product development and reimbursement challenges.

MassMEDIC will also launch its annual “Entrepreneur of the Year” award at the June 22 event. The first honoree will be Patrick Sullivan, CEO of Cytyc, who will share his experiences of growing Cytyc from startup mode to a multi-million dollar company.
