Life Science Nation (LSN) and the Stetson Family Office (SFO) relationship began over 18 months ago when Chuck Stetson decided that the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) Conference Series was the perfect vehicle for his global family office network to achieve two of his goals. The first goal is matching the "dollars and desires" of the early stage family office investor with the vetting capability of LSN's vast early stage angel network. The second goal was using RESI to surface the companies that needed the capital to make it through early stage development.

Chuck's vision morphed into an official entity called the Global Family Office BioForum (GFOB), which he launched this year at RESI SF during the JP Morgan event in San Francisco. GFOB is an alliance of international family offices. This organization currently spans 18 cities in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and now has recently expanded to working in cooperation with the Angel Capital Association with 13,000 members in 260 organizations.

This event was held to help bring Taiwan's biomedical startups to the international stage and to give the companies a chance to learn how to seek fundraising opportunities. Dennis Ford, LSN Founder and CEO, Greg Mannix, VP of International Business Development, and Jessica Yang, Senior Investor Research Analyst & Asia BD were invited to visit Taiwan to teach the Bootcamp as well as provide one-on-one startup fundraising consultations. This was the first time that Taiwan's biomedical industry has cooperated in holding a fundraising training program with an international early-stage startup fundraising consulting firm, such as LSN.

On Oct 16, 2018, the first day of the training program, Dennis gave a top-to-bottom master class on outbound global fundraising campaigning to over 90 Taiwanese biomedical startups...
