Many early-stage founders struggle to articulate their solutions and impact in ways funders understand. Growth-stage companies struggle to unlock larger pools of capital by demonstrating scalability, reducing risk, and aligning with investor expectations.
The HTCA Grant Writing Series has been designed to tackle these problems. It is a structured session equipping health innovators with the tools, insights, and strategic perspective needed to access funding across different growth stages.
Ronald Wakhu from the Health Finance Coalition will share how blended and catalytic finance are structured in practice and what founders must demonstrate to de-risk their solutions and transition from grant funding to investment-ready models.
Bertrand Pedersen from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance will share how growth-stage health startups can leverage platforms like INFUSE to access de-risked capital and scale through strategic partnerships.
For early-stage startups, Ibukun Tunde-Oni, CEO Eight Medical | Techstars ‘23, will facilitate a training session guiding early-stage founders on how to structure strong grant applications, clearly articulate impact, and use grants as a pathway to funding and partnerships.
Together, these sessions provide a full view of the funding journey, from early validation to scale.
If you are building in health and are serious about unlocking funding, this session is designed for you.
