Vikram Janardhan, CEO, Insera Therapeutics

"LifeScienceFest is a terrific venue for medical device startups to kickoff their fundraising roadshow or get on the radar screen of the venture capital community. We got over five follow up opportunities with VCs soon after we were awarded the runner-up award for 'Most Promising Life Science company' in 2008. LifeScienceFest is the platform that opened important doors for us."
