Location: San Diego, CA

Tali Tuchin will join Sabrina Martucci Johnson, Founder, President, and CEO of Daré Bioscience, for a fireside chat as part of the ACG San Diego Women’s Series. The program brings together founders, investors, and advisors for a conversation about building and financing companies in the life sciences and women’s health sectors.

The discussion, "Daring to Be Different: A Founder's Path from Idea to Public Company," will explore Sabrina’s experience building Daré Bioscience and taking the company public, including how founders can choose a path to the public markets, fund years of development before generating revenue, and determine when strategic partnerships may provide greater value than raising additional capital. Tali and Sabrina will also discuss the role of licensing and collaboration arrangements in advancing a company’s science and supporting its growth.

Mintz is proud to host the program at its San Diego office, with Cabrillo Advisors serving as presenting partner. The event is designed for founders, executives, investors, business development professionals, and advisors in life sciences and women's health communities.
