I am pleased to welcome Amper, Politziner & Mattia as a Bronze Level Sponsor of BioStrategy Partners!  Amper offers tax and accounting services for both public and private life sciences companies that span the entire development cycle.  Julie Udal, CPA is located in the Jenkintown office.


Those of you who attended the September Practical Knowledge Series program on company valuation know that it was standing room only!  Be sure to register for the October 16th session, details below and moderated by H. Donlon Skerrett, President, Pharmaceutical Consulting Consortium, Inc. (PCCI).  Through the Practical Knowledge Series, BioSP is able to reach many more people than through our one-on-one programs-yet another way that we assist scientific founders, first-time entrepreneurs and technology transfer by creating a young company community in the Greater Philadelphia region.

The Life Sciences Leadership Forum

By: Ali Cleveland 

 

BioSP has developed a number of innovative programs for scientific founders and first-time entrepreneurs.  Our latest, the Life Sciences Leadership Forum (Forum), boosts business acumen and networks participants into the life sciences ecosystem.  Designed for small groups, there are seven sessions and each provides management training on topics identified as critical to starting, managing and expanding a life science/biopharma/device company. The Forum was developed in collaboration with KIZ Partners Montgomery and Bucks County Community Colleges and initially piloted within our KIZ.
 
A generous grant from the Delaware Valley Innovation Network, a United States Department of Labor WIRED recipient serving the Delaware Valley Region is enabling BioSP to offer three Forums simultaneously, in southeastern Pennsylvania (with Montgomery and Bucks County Community Colleges and La Salle University), in South Jersey (with Burlington County College), and in northern Delaware (with Delaware Technical and Community College).  Eighteen entrepreneurs are currently enrolled.  This round of Forums will conclude in November 2009. 
 
If you are a scientific founder and/or first-time entrepreneur interested in participating in a future Forum, please send an email to
