Dennis Ford, Founder & CEO, Life Science Nation; Creator of RESI Conference Series

Dennis Ford is an entrepreneur and author with expertise in sales, marketing, and business development. He has spent most of his career finding, vetting and launching a myriad of technology-based companies. Over the last decade, he has worked extensively with global alternative investors and is deeply interested in getting funding for high-growth early-stage technologies. He is a big proponent of using profiling and matching technology to find that all-important business fit in the marketing and selling process. In today’s context Dennis can connect early stage life science companies with 10 categories of global partners thus making the finding of capital and distribution channels very efficient. Dennis created the Redefining Early Stage Investments conference series to facilitate an interactive ongoing dialog between buyers and sellers in the life science arena. Before LSN, Dennis was the President and CEO of a company that improved the way hedge fund and private equity fund managers raised capital and marketed their funds to investors. Ford is the author of The Peddler’s Prerogative and The Life Science Executive’s Fundraising Manifesto, two well-received sales and marketing books.

Erich White, West Coast Business Development Manager, Life Science Nation

Erich White is the West Coast Business Development Manager at Life Science Nation (LSN). After graduating from the University of Massachusetts and completing his graduate studies at Harvard, he spent the first 13 years of his career fundraising for nonprofit organzations and life science startups. He quickly became frustrated with the lack of intelligence fundraisers had available to make decisions and drive their fundraising strategies. This lead to his philosopy of identifying prospects or targets based off of affinities and shared interests and collecting datapoints that provided insights into the prospect’s capacity, propensity, and ability.
