Pitch. Protect. Grow. - Helping neurotech founders protect their IP, find the right space, and build their team.

Why this event?
The first year of a neurotech company is full of decisions that are hard to undo: protecting your IP, finding the right lab or tech space, and making your first hires. Pitch, Protect, Grow brings experts in each of these areas into one room, so you can ask your questions and leave with a plan.
