Abstract: Entrepreneurs are making successful inroads into delivering diagnostics which will transform healthcare in the US and abroad. Creating diagnostics requires both a great technology and a great plan. I will discuss what venture firms look for in both. If you have an idea for a diagnostic, I will provide feedback on how to raise financing from angels, foundations, and venture groups.

About the Point-of-Care Diagnostics Idea Lab
The Point-of-Care Diagnostics (POCDx) Idea Lab was created as a forum for graduate students who are working in the areas of medical diagnostics and global health to discuss topics relevant to their research. Students working in the areas of engineering, science, policy, and healthcare are encouraged to attend. The bi-weekly meetings will be informal and will usually include one or two short presentations by graduate students, followed by discussion. Students may choose to present their work or a recent journal article.
