It was great to see Life Science companies pitch their innovative solutions and receive feedback from experienced investors. This is a great event for startups that want live feedback from investors. Learn about Menlo Park Patents ® and how we are changing the game for startups that need patents.

This past weekend, my team (Aaron Harrington, Arellys Tapia, Jando Granillo) and I participated in the Dartmouth Stock Pitch Competition, where we secured 1st place out of 150 teams worldwide. Our winning pitch focused on a long position on Vaxcyte Inc. (NASDAQ: PCVX), highlighting our analysis of PCVX's development pipeline and potential to dominate the PCV market with next-generation technology. Competing against esteemed institutions such as Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth College, our team demonstrated a thorough understanding of the market and the ability to present a compelling investment case. (The event can be viewed at https://lnkd.in/d4cVAYds) This served as a robust affirmation of our belief in Vaxcyte's capacity to be a game-changer in the stagnant PCV vaccine market. Emerging as a significant force set to disrupt the market, equipped with cutting-edge technology and two standout PCV candidates - VAX-24 and VAX-31. Thank you to Dartmouth Investment and Philanthropy Program for putting the competition together, Druce Vertes and Alec Schaefer for taking the time to judge the competition, and BCG Undergraduate Investment Fund & the University of Houston, C. T. Bauer College of Business (University of Houston) for the continued support along the process.

Saying GoodBye to the Old. 😏😏😏 As an international entrepreneur in France, I am documenting my journey in the La French Tech ecosystem through a blog on Buy Me a Coffee Currently, I am in the process of rebranding my project from "Lil'Curie" to a new name that will be revealed very soon. But nonetheless, this name will resonate with me for what I really used this name for. Even though, I agree, that I came up with this name in haste because I was filling up an application for a competition in my school EDHEC Business School but it did have its reason. My very first entry to the blog was the reason why I chose the name. Today I will soon publish a new voice blog on my Buy Me a Coffee account detailing what I have learnt through this painstaking process of going through the research regarding the legal process of registering the brand and what or what might not be the problem if we don't give enough thought to a brand name. but meanwhile, we say goodbye to my old name and very soon welcome new identity. thanks #GoodByeLilCurie. #rebranding #startuplife #LaFrenchTech.

🏛️ Leaning on Old Greece, we set up an Agora discussion during tomorrow's Spinoff Summit. Everyone will be able to share their opinions and ideas for the future. The Open Dialogue Between VCs and TTOs is supposed to bridge the worlds of academia and business to create a spinoff ecosystem where founders and scientists can thrive. We are excited that tech media veteran Wolfgang Kerler will host the Agora discussion, trying to shed light on all angles. Wolfgang is editor-in-chief of 1E9, creating optimistic journalism about future technologies and innovations and developing a new kind of tech journalism - journalism created together with the tech community. 1E9 hosts its annual Festival der Zukunft in Munich, which gathers scientists, entrepreneurs, and everyone interested in using tech to build a better future. Before 1E9, Wolfgang was a Burns Fellow at The Verge, a Vox Media brand in New York, and Editorial Director of WIRED Germany. 🔥 We are thrilled to announce that tickets for this year's Spinoff Summit have been completely sold out, a testament to the high interest and anticipation for the event.
