Translating Science into Funding - How to Strategically Position, Craft, and Organize Winning Proposals
Share this event
For science-driven startups, strong innovation alone is not enough to secure funding. Founders must be able to translate complex science into clear, compelling proposals that resonate with reviewers and funders. This workshop is designed to help startups strategically position their science to improve funding outcomes.
The session focuses on identifying the right funding mechanisms based on stage and scientific readiness, crafting innovation and impact narratives that resonate with reviewers, and defining realistic, fundable milestones that demonstrate feasibility and market readiness. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to organize proposals in a way that aligns technical rigor with funder expectations.
This workshop is particularly relevant for startups in medtech, medical devices, biotech, and healthcare seeking grant funding or other non-dilutive capital.
Who Should Attend:
-
Science-based startup founders
-
Medtech, biotech, and healthcare entrepreneurs
-
Teams pursuing grant or non-dilutive funding
-
Researchers transitioning toward commercialization
