Therapeutic Investability: Who Shall be Invited To Dance?

When: February 06, 2020

Venue: SGInnovate (32 Carpenter Street)

Event Description:

In the first half of 2019, the total new money entering the Asia Pacific HealthTech sector was US$2.5 billion across 140 deals. And the second quarter of 2019 was the 8th consecutive $1 billion or more quarter for HealthTech in Asia. While the number of deals is going down, the individual deals are getting larger and more likely to be in later-stage companies (Galen Growth Asia 2019 Half Year Asia HealthTech Landscape report).

So how do the dancers choose who to invite to the dance floor in the first place? What makes a startup appealing to an investor, and what makes an investor attractive to the investee?
