Published purpose

The LifeSciences BC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs 2021-2023 is a continuation of this program that was initially launched in 2020. This program brings together annual cohorts of at least 10 early-stage BC SMEs in the life sciences sector with an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). EIRs are carefully selected and matched to each SME based on specific experience and knowledge relevant to that particular SME. The program supports the participating SMEs to become “investor ready” by providing them with new skills to successfully attract investment funds. Each cohort-year of the program will culminate in an investor pitch session where the participants will use their new skills to present to a group of pre-qualified investors.
