TRUESDAYS [November 3] | HealthTech & BioTech Innovation Night

Innovation Night at TRUESDAYS: HealthTech & BioTech

This November, TRUESDAYS turns its focus to healthtech, biotech and medtech.

Together with Seed Starter České spořitelny, we’re bringing founders, investors, experts and people from the healthcare and science ecosystem into one room.

The main stage will belong to selected early-stage startups working across health, biotech and medtech. Up to 7 startups will present what they’re building and get direct feedback from investors and experts active in the sector.

Each startup gets:

🎤 3 minutes to pitch
💬 Q&A and feedback from the investor jury

This is not a pitch competition. The goal is to give founders useful feedback, relevant introductions and a chance to discuss their business with people who understand the sector.

We’ll also hear from Beáta Vörösová, Investment Manager at Seed Starter České spořitelny, together with Kardi AI, looking at a concrete example of how a healthtech startup can work with a large financial institution and bring its solution into practice.

After the pitches, we’ll move into 1:1 speed-mentorig with investors and mentors., where founders can discuss specific challenges directly with investors and experts, followed by networking with the wider TRUESDAYS community.
