The rise of alternative funding has forever changed the way money is raised, and Poliwogg is capitalizing on that shift to help life science startups and transform healthcare investing. Poliwogg is interested in innovative early stage companies across all areas of healthcare and life sciences, including biopharmaceuticals, diagnostics, devices, health IT, and big data.

Samuel Wertheimer, Poliwogg Chief Investment Officer and Brock Reeve, Poliwogg Portfolio Manager, will be in attendance on Tuesday, October 21st to give an overview presentation on the organization's key areas of interest and best practices when seeking funding.
