Founders Capital Summit: Fund Your Next Milestone Without Raising Another Round Founders Capital Summit brings together the people and organizations who help startups scale, and the health and biotech founders who've successfully secured their support. Across five hands-on workshops, you'll learn what funders are looking for, what makes a company competitive, and how founders have reached meaningful milestones with their support. Hear from mentors, leaders, and funders from NIH, ARPA-H, SBIR, I-Corps, Nucleate, MedTech Innovator, Activate- Cyclotron Road, Fogarty Innovation, Tara Health Foundation, Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation, Roche, SynBioBeta, Kranz Consulting, JKZ, Scout AI, Opal Therapeutics, Immergo Labs, LabOps, Opus 132, Vahana Labs, Spence, and more to be announced! Every year, billions of dollars in non-dilutive capital go to startups through federal and state programs, corporate partnerships, foundations, accelerators, tax credits, and other sources. This capital can fund clinical studies, regulatory work, commercialization, and R&D. Your next milestone needs capital. It may not need another round. AGENDA 10:00 to 11:00 | Accelerators: More Than Mentorship The right accelerator can provide funding, lab space, cloud and compute credits, technical expertise, customer introductions, and relationships across the health and biotech ecosystem. Hear from leading accelerators about what their programs unlock, who they’re looking for, and how founders can use them to reach their next milestone faster and with less capital. 11:00 to 12:00 | Corporate Partnerships: How Startups Get Paid For health and biotech startups, a corporate partner can be much more than a customer. Health systems, pharma, medtech companies, payers, and other strategic partners can fund pilots, research, validation, co-development, and other work that moves your company toward its next milestone. 12:00 to 1:00 | Lunch 1:00 to 2:00 | Government Grants: Fund Your R&D Federal and state programs provide billions of dollars each year to fund research and development at startups. Learn how SBIR/STTR and other programs work, what they fund, what makes an application competitive, and how founders have used government funding to advance their technology. 2:00 to 3:00 | Philanthropic Grants: Foundations Fund Startups, Too Foundations, disease organizations, and other nonprofits make grants to companies whose work advances their missions. Learn what they fund, what makes a startup competitive, and how founders build relationships with philanthropic funders. 3:00 to 4:00 | Tax Credits + Debt: Extend Your Runway R&D tax credits can put money back into your company, while debt can provide additional capital without another equity round. Learn what your company may qualify for, how these tools work, and when they make sense for your financing strategy. Hosted by NDVC.fund and sponsored by the Hanwha AI Center.
