Nordic Mentor Network For Entrepreneurship - NOME

What does Investor Day look like with moving images? 🎥 Take a look at how last week's day transpired at the wonderful MJ'S Hotel in Malmö. Investor Day will be back again, so we can continue this collaborative effort, across the NOME family, of helping more life science companies succeed and find investors. Thank you so much, Marko Kuisma from Innovestor, Patrik Strömberg from AnaCardio and Malin Bornschein, PhD from Reccan AB for letting us grill you about the event 😉 AND, for life science startups not yet part of NOME, remember that our Annual Meeting is coming up in November, and with it, the Startup Competition, where the winner is welcomed into NOME. Watch this space for when we open for applications 🚨

It is a new day, a new week, and we are here to present a new fantastic mentor! 🔥 Ole J. Dahlberg – CEO & Board Member Ole has experience all the way through the startup journey, from founder to CEO to board member, and has accumulated this experience from several different areas of life science, which means he will be able to contribute to many different startups in many different areas. He will be a massive asset to NOME-companies. ”I am honoured to join the NOME mentorship program which I think is doing an immensely important job. As companies scale and manoeuvre global complexity, leadership mentorship and support is critical. I am very much looking forward to interactions with companies, leaders and the other mentors.” – Ole Dahlberg   Please make sure to welcome Ole as we always do.

Aaand we're back with mentor news! We have the privilege of adding another fantastic life science professional to our ranks. Patrik Strömberg – CEO at AnaCardio. Patrik not only has more than 20 years experience in pharma, but he is also completely integrated in NOME. AnaCardio was part of NOME up until this year, and thus he has the perfect background to be a massive help as mentor for NOME-companies. “I am honored to join the distinguished cohort of NOME mentors and look forward to being a part of this amazing platform for promising start-ups. I hope that my prior experience from biopharmaceutical R&D and business development, as well as my more recent and ongoing journey with AnaCardio will be useful in helping other NOME companies advance and grow.” - Patrik Strömberg. Please make sure to re-welcome Patrik to NOME, now in a new role.

Our very own Peter Birk is currently in Boston with NOME-companies to get them ready to enter the US market. As always, it is incredible how many are willing to engage and help, and we just want to say a big, big thank you!

What do you get when you mix life science #startups and investors with an informal setting and a relaxed environment? NOME Investor Day 2024! 💰 Thank you to everyone who attended this year's investor day. From startups to investors and even mentors, who came from far and wide to participate 🛬 The NOME community wouldn't be this strong without your commitment to making it the best there is. The buzz around the tables seemed to indicate that there was plenty to talk about, although we have to agree that when the bell rings, you have no more time 😉 We truly hope to see many of you again very soon!

A Dream Fulfilled. I've heard many wonderful things about Mayo Clinic over the years, so visiting it was a long-held desire of mine. Last week, my dream came true during the Nordic Mentor Network For Entrepreneurship - NOME US camp organized by MedTech Bridge in Minneapolis. The trip was enhanced by the fantastic company. My fellow companions in the startup world were carefully chosen, sharp, and curious. Alongside a lineup of industry experts from the Medical Alley, dedicated to helping us find answers, it made for a truly enlightening and rapid learning experience. I'll be writing a separate brief note about my key takeaways.
