FInCo Seminar: Investors’ expectations for research-based health & life science companies

What do investors look for when evaluating research-based health and life science companies — and what should researchers know before seeking external investment?

Sara Kangaspeska will share an investor’s perspective on how science-based companies and investment opportunities are evaluated, what investors expect from scientific founders and early-stage companies, and what can make a project more — or less — attractive for investment.

The seminar will also offer a career perspective particularly relevant to the University of Helsinki community. Sara is a former FIMM researcher who moved from academic research into venture capital and is now Investment Director at Innovestor Life Science. She will also discuss her own career transition and what working in life science investment looks like in practice.

The seminar will include approximately 30–35 minutes of presentation, followed by discussion and Q&A.
