Last week, our accelerator teams took a deep dive into the stakeholder journey, working to define the core problem and identify key stakeholders. Huge thanks to our incredible experts who brought real-world perspective, guidance, and insight to the conversation. Your support helps bring these early-stage companies closer to real-world impact. 🚨 We also made LifeX Accelerator history last week! One of the cornerstones of the LifeX experience is our Curated Network: a robust ecosystem of founders, investors, clinicians, and strategic partners. This includes prestigious academic institutions that bring deep expertise to the table. We were thrilled to officially welcome the WVU Office of Innovation and Commercialization as a strategic partner and collaborator. Their participation in our stakeholder session added meaningful value and fresh perspective, and we’re excited to continue this partnership. At LifeX, we know that redefining what’s possible in life sciences can’t be done alone. It takes collaboration, shared vision, and a collective commitment to innovation. Thank you to our experts, and to our new colleagues from WVU.
