Financing Best Practices from Seed Round to IPO from the 2025 Mayer Brown Utah Life Sciences Summit was presented in Salt Lake City on November 12, 2025. Speakers included Sam Gardiner, Mayer Brown LLP, Partner, and Liz Walsh, Mayer Brown, Counsel.
Successfully taking a life sciences company from seed stage to IPO requires knowledge and implementation of the marketplace and best practices, including raising capital and navigating related regulatory compliance, building a clear value proposition, and adequately planning and preparing for the public market while continuing to evaluate the costs and benefits of private capital raisings, including late-stage offerings.
