Roll up, roll up! The 2009 edition of the MaRS Regenerative Medicine Industry Briefing is now available.
New content in the 2009 edition includes:
In our most recent issue of Convergence, we asked our trusted Entrepreneurs-in-Residence and Advisors across the province to speak from experience and lend some snippets of sage advice to technology entrepreneurs.
In “Bridging the Gap” we bring to light some common commercialization and business challenges that are oftentimes overlooked by entrepreneurs, or discovered a little too late be to addressed. At a time when our start-up clients have cash on the brain – “need more, where can I get more, just give me more” – some good, relevant advice might help entrepreneurs save cash to weather the storm, and possibly even find some.
