Q Founder Series: Boarding with Steven R. Deitcher, M.D.
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
This interactive webinar will provide a practical, and at times cynical, framework for identifying and attracting appropriate scientific and clinical advisors to a life science start-up company. Beyond simply filling advisory board seats, the session will examine how to evaluate potential advisors for genuine alignment with company goals, how to avoid common pitfalls when expectations are mismatched, and how to structure advisor roles to maximize value for both parties. The webinar will also address different models of advisor engagement, including equity vs. cash remuneration, time commitments, and the often-overlooked importance of defining deliverables. Participants will leave with actionable strategies for building a strong, effective advisory network that can provide credibility, open doors to investors and partners, and accelerate the growth of early-stage ventures.

Q Founder Series: Flunking with Steven R. Deitcher, M.D.
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
This interactive webinar will explore the realities of failure in life science innovation, including why even great ideas sometimes stall, falter, or never make it to market. Participants will examine the many possible causes of failure, from scientific and technical hurdles to market misalignment, team dynamics, and investor skepticism. The session will highlight how to identify early warning signs, strategies to troubleshoot and potentially resuscitate promising concepts, and how to capture valuable lessons from ventures that don t move forward. Far from being purely pessimistic, the conversation will underscore how failure can provide unique opportunities for growth, sharpen future decision-making, and strengthen resilience for founders and teams navigating the high-risk world of entrepreneurship.
