In our latest episode of the AuxTalks podcast, Zachary Dutton and Hank Stolz chat with Danielle O’Neal Senior VP of Life Sciences at Banc of California about the current state of fundraising for early-stage life sciences companies.

Danielle shares what investors are looking for in founder-led startups today, why fundraising has become more challenging and what helps companies stand out in a tougher market. She discusses the importance of strong scientific advisory boards, founder credibility and the evolving opportunities and challenges for AI-driven “tech bio” startups.

She also talks about clear storytelling, understanding investor expectations, tailoring pitches to different investors and how founders can better position their companies for long-term growth.

If you are building a life sciences or healthcare startup, preparing to raise capital or refining your investor pitch, this episode is for you- https://open.spotify.com/episode/2s4heMGFDo0fYZkapTZW7H?si=ANi04SuFQ2yf0LleOUF5rw
