What People Say About Our Accelerator
LaunchPad’s mentorship program helped Avisi to refine its business pitch through a series of feedback meetings all leading up to Medical Innovation Forum. After pitching, we got the ultimate result – Life Science Angels and others invested in Avisi’s seed round.
At first, LaunchPad was a challenge—we thought we knew how to present and what our business plan was…and then we found LaunchPad! They helped shape us, gave us guard rails and focus. Now, it’s much easier to fundraise because we know how to present our strengths and metrics, thanks to them.
We received real-time feedback from the panel of instructors as we built the pitch deck, which was invaluable. The LaunchPad team really helped refine our fundraising story, and this clearer story definitely helped us in our fundraising process.
