Twelve startups present disruptive healthcare solutions at Insud Pharma’s Pitch Day

Madrid, 29 January 2019

Insud Pharma’s startup accelerator ChemoStart, spearheaded by Leandro Sigman, has one clear goal: to support innovative, disruptive healthcare solutions.

In this second edition of the programme, applications were submitted by a range of projects at different stages of development. The projects presented include a range of biotechnology solutions, ranging from new forms of pathology prevention, patient monitoring and genetic diagnosis to treatment using nanomedicines or exosomes and digital prescriptions.

“Supporting the most disruptive innovation from a range of different perspectives will allow us to tackle the healthcare challenges that lie ahead,” said Leandro Sigman, Chairman of Insud Pharma, adding: “ChemoStart seeks to underpin the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the field of health and stimulate interaction between academia, science and enterprise, allowing innovation to have a real, lasting impact on society.”

The 12 shortlisted candidates, which focus on various treatment areas such as cancer, neurological diseases and women’s health, will be presenting their projects at a Pitch Day tomorrow, 31 January, to an external panel of leading experts in various areas of healthcare.

In the next phase, two projects will be selected to receive support on areas such as internationalisation, marketing, scalability and business commercialisation.

Insud Pharma will support these startups using its own resources and the expertise of the ChemoStart mentor network, comprised of top-level specialists in a range of health-related areas.

The mentoring process will end with an Investor Day, where the candidates will pitch their projects to a group of specialist investors to secure the financing needed to support the ventures going forward.
