In life sciences investing, good judgement is often defined as much by the opportunities you walk away from as the ones you pursue. Renée Ryan brings a rare 360-degree perspective to that judgement call. Across investment banking, venture capital, company leadership and board roles, she has worked through the full company and capital journey — from early opportunity assessment to financing, growth, partnership and exit. In this keynote, Renée will explore the defining moments that shape successful deals: how investors evaluate opportunities, what causes them to lean in or step back, and what founders need to understand about timing, alignment, risk and return. Drawing on lessons from across multiple deals, she will offer a candid view of what it takes to build investor confidence and keep company strategy aligned with the capital journey ahead.
