See What You Missed at the Fall 2024 Showcase
CLS’s Fall Innovation Showcase was held on December 10th in South San Francisco. The day began with our Investor Partnering Forum, where select start-ups had the opportunity to meet with ten different investors in one-on-one meetings. The afternoon programming included a panel discussion with FAST California alumni, who shared their perspectives on creating, building, and scaling start-ups. This discussion was followed by two pitch tracks featuring the Fall 2024 FAST cohort, comprised of 12 therapeutic and diagnostic companies. Their presentations showcased California’s emerging innovation while helping startups connect with investors, channel partners, and corporate business development and licensing collaborators. The event concluded with a networking reception and solutions corridor, featuring CLSAdvantage cost-savings partners.
