Pharmaceutical Consulting Consortium International Inc. presents their 7^th annual Roundtable on Crowdfunding for the Life Sciences and how this funding mechanism applies to early stage life science companies and changes the funding landscape. The conference will examine the types of crowdfunding out there and attempts to answer many questions including:

Which one is right for which new companies at which stage of the funding process?
And how will choosing the right or wrong one influence follow-on funders and funding rounds?
Will the advent of crowdfunding speed up the investment process?
Will it really bridge the yawning “valley of death”?

The panel is made up of notables and practitioners who will be called upon to deal with the pros and cons of crowdfunding in real life and let them discuss how all this is likely to apply to life science entrepreneurs and investors.

The panel includes:

Mark Roderick, Attorney Flaster/Greenberg PC (Moderator)
Valerie Gaydos, President, Capital Growth (represents angel/venture community)
Samuel Wertheimer, Chief Investment Officer, Poliwogg Darrick Mix
Duane Morris, LLP (journalist who covers crowdfunding
