Houston MedTech Oktoberfest at Saint Arnold Brewing!

Join us in welcoming Thomas Luby, Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer of the Texas Medical Center (the largest medical center in the world!!) as a speaker at Houston MedTech Oktoberfest on September 24 and 25 at Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

Tom oversees research, education, and commercialization of novel healthcare solutions at the Texas Medical Center. He previously led JLABS at TMC, catalyzing the translation of science and technology into valuable solutions across pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer healthcare sectors.

He began his career as a New Ventures Lead at Johnson & Johnson Innovation JJDC Inc in Boston, where he fostered key partnerships and expanded JLABS to Toronto, and spent fourteen years in R and D and business development roles at Shire and early stage biotech firms.

On this panel they will unpack the entire fundraising journey as securing venture capital in the medtech world demands more than a great idea.

You will learn how to position your technology to demonstrate clear patient and market impact, build a compelling pitch that speaks the language of life science investors, and structure term sheets that protect your vision while aligning interests.

They will explore strategies for engaging with strategic corporate partners and venture firms, timing rounds to coincide with key development milestones, and navigating due diligence without losing momentum.

Walk away with actionable tactics and insider perspectives that will empower you to raise the capital you need to bring your medtech innovation to market.

This is one of the can’t miss sessions at the best medtech conference in the world.
