What VCs See in Your Team — with Christopher Coe
- 1 hour | March 30, 2026 | 9:30AM EST
Christopher Coe - Senior Partner at Kingsley Gate
About the Webinar
Every founder assumes the pitch deck is the problem.
More often than not, it isn’t.
It’s the team slide.
Investors aren’t just looking at your science or your technology — they’re asking whether the people around you reflect what a fundable company at your stage actually looks like. When that picture doesn’t add up, conversations stall. And the room goes quiet.
In this session, Christopher Coe, Senior Partner at Kingsley Gate, draws on over 26 years of experience building leadership teams and boards across biotech, medtech, and healthtech to explain what investors look for in your team — and how to strengthen your position before your next raise.
Watch the Webinar to Gain Insights into:
- What investors see in your team — and what quietly kills a deal
- How to get your structure right before the money arrives — not after
- Why the team that built the science isn’t always the team that scales the business
- Plus a dedicated Q&A session to raise your questions.
