Graham Combe
I host life science innovation events with Prof Tony Sedgwick where our mission is twofold. Firstly, to support life science innovation business leaders with peer-to-peer thought-leadership business development and strategic support with our Agile Leaders and Creative Disruption Forums. Secondly, to provide networking events focused on building business relationships between our Life Sciences Business Leaders with VCs, Pharma BD, Consultants and Service Providers that support innovation development.
Our focus with our #biotechbuddies "in-person" events and our #coffeebuddies "virtual events" is to maintain a healthy balance between buyers and sellers to benefit all those participating. The type of life sciences innovation companies that come to our events include biotech, medtech, digital health, tech bio & diagnostics. Generally, the companies that come to our events are in the first 5-6 years of development before commercialisation, from pre-clinical to Clinical Proof of Concept, or from a funding perspective, from Seed through to Series A.
