DETAILS

Join us for this year's third hybrid Pitch Global event co-hosted by UC Berkeley Extension at their San Francisco Campus & online via Zoom. The event will present speakers talking about how AI Entrepreneurs can attract investors, especially Corporate Venture Capital (CVC's), apply for Govt grants, & work with the regional Small Business Administration (SBA) offices for funding. Following these talks, Lifesciences-based Entrepreneurs will present their pitches to the audience, including a group of featured investors from our network.

Above is a picture from the 4th Pitch Global CVC Leadership Summit with leaders from SK Group & Niterra Venture Labs (rebranded from NGK CVC). Note that SK Group is the largest investor in life sciences in Korea, & our Sponsor, Niterra Venture Labs, is investing $1 billion in Startups, 50% of which is in life sciences/Health Tech. Many Tech CVCs & investors in the Pitch Global ecosystem have started investing in life sciences/Health Tech in all stages.

As a long-term affiliate of Funding & mentoring Agencies of Cal Gov's Office of Economic Dev, like Norcal SBDC/TFG, etc., we at Pitch Global have built the local CVC Network with their support ever since COVID started & discovered the trend of CVCs investing in early/all stages. This funding success story explains how we are connected to the State's Funding & mentoring agencies. Please email us if you are based in Northern California & want to sign up for State-funded assistance/grants advisory.
