Through The Valley Of Death To Commercial Success – Taking Your Research To The Next Level

Working with the leading research institutions, Uniseed and the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund (MRCF) fill a unique niche in the Australian investment landscape by investing in early stage break-through ideas. By bridging the infamous “valley of death” they take bright innovations from the bench through proof-of-concept to successful ready-for-exit start-ups.

We are fortunate to be joined by two investment managers Dr Anthony Musumeci (Uniseed) and Dr Mike Molinari (MRCF) for this interactive presentation where they will talk about their respective funds. We will hear some of the news-making start-up success stories as well as firsthand advice on what they look for in potential investments.
