For this July Roundtable event, COIN invites our entire nanobio community to join us in a discussion on Risk vs Reward: Financing Early-Stage, Emerging Technologies. The "Valley of Death" is critical funding gap common in many industries. COIN, on behalf of our members, will host a dialogue with several seasoned investors and entrepreneurs to provide a better understanding from the investor's perspective of the balance that is struck between risk and reward when making funding decisions for early-stage technologies. Because nanobiotechnology is an emerging field where many technologies are platform technologies with applications across mutliple industries, there are unique challenges and opportunities.

This panel session will be moderated by Andy Dreyfuss, a Fund Executive at the Piedmont Angel Network. Panelists include Scott Albert, a Venture Partner with Aurora Funds, Christy Shaffer, a Venture Partner and Managing Director with Hatteras Venture Partners, and Steven Walsh, a serial entrepreneur at the University of New Mexico.
