A candid conversation with a PWN Member, clinician-turned-investor — and what that vantage point reveals about backing breakthrough work across healthcare and deeptech.
Purpose: Thought-Leader format with an unusually grounded investor voice on backing breakthrough work in healthcare and adjacent deeptech.
Discussion: Hashan, PWN Member, will draw on his rare combination of medical training, early Eli Lilly experience, and current seat at KP Rx to share what families backing breakthrough medical and deeptech work should know — and typically don't hear.
Outcomes: Forty minutes of intimate, substantive conversation before the main program begins — a different voice on the deeptech investment conversation, and a frame that will sharpen everything Day 2 builds on.
