FDA, VC and Biotech Insights Intermingle at Startup Sandbox

Event brings entrepreneurs, investors and FDA experts together to discuss biotech directions and fortunes



09 August 2019


Our Play in the Sandbox event on the evening of August 8 brought entrepreneurs and experts together to discuss the latest trends in FDA regulation and venture capital financing in the world of biotech. It was an excellent evening that featured poignant presentations, each of which triggered great feedback, questions and discussions. 


The Sandbox would like to thank our presenters and moderators:

  • Geetha Rao, CEO of Springborne Life Sciences

  • Scott Elliot, Partner at O'Melveny

  • Sanjit Dang and Ekta Dang, Co-Founders of U-First Capital

We would also like to thank everyone who attended as well, especially the UC Santa Cruz graduate students that made time to join us. And thanks go out as well to Sunny's Catering of Santa Cruz.


Great food, great company and great discussions made for a terrific summer evening here at the Sandbox.
