An exceptional panel with collectively over 100 years of relevant experience!
At a time when raising capital may be challenging, Life Sciences and Biotech startups & early-growth stage companies should evaluate debt financing, a form of capital that is more traditionally used by early-stage tech companies or companies generating steady streams of cash flows. During a panel discussion with our seasoned experts, we will reflect on:
Is debt financing the right instrument to grow your biotech or life sciences company?
When should life sciences/biotech startups and early-growth stage companies consider debt financing?
What are the pros and cons of raising debt versus equity?
What financing structures are available?
The panel discussion will be preceded by a tour of the Smartlabs facilities at Boston Landing: Join us at 5pm to learn how they deliver flexible turnkey lab programs to support workflows at every stage of development.
This event is supported by KeyBank.

About SmartLabs:
SmartLabs is accelerating the pace of scientific discovery by radically transforming the way the world builds and uses lab space. Where lab construction can take 9 to 12 months in the traditional process, we deliver personalized and effective lab workflow environments in about 4 weeks. This huge reduction in time means member teams are starting sooner and results are delivered faster. We continue to compound this time savings with our proactive operational support and ability to pivot and change lab space quickly as member science evolves and lab needs change.
We love what we do - our members are shaping the future and we are proud to help them do it! We currently have locations in the MIT area of Cambridge, at Innovation Square in the Boston Seaport, in the hot new development at Boston Landing, and in South San Francisco.
