WIB-Capital Region and KPMG co-hosted a panel discussion on commercialization, fundraising, and founder perspectives. Our speakers were Dr. Martha Sklavos (Aloe Therapeutics) and Sadiye Amcaoglu Rieder (Amgen), who spoke on science to commercialization; Katherine Hill Ritchie (TEDCO) and Aurora Griffin (LongeVC) on fundraising and founder insights; and Sheila Corcoran (Evizia) and Donna J. Edmonds (BRAINBox Solutions, Inc.) on founder perspectives. Thanks to KPMG for their generous support and to TEDCO, our chapter sponsor. We are especially grateful to Katherine Hill Ritchie, Senior Director of Venture Funds at TEDCO, for her inspiring remarks highlighting the importance of women supporting women—not only through mentorship but also by investing in their ventures. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with WIB leaders, members, and professionals across the region’s vibrant life sciences ecosystem.
