LaunchBio: Stack the Halls

LaunchBio’s Larger Than Life Science series puts Stack the Halls on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at BioLabs San Diego, 9276 Scranton Road, Suite 500. The topic is building a smarter biotech capital stack—grants, venture, strategics, foundations, family offices, and partnerships instead of waiting on a clean Series A. Registration and networking open at 4:00. A market-outlook block and capital-stack panel follow, then happy hour, networking, and BioLabs tours through 7:00. RSVP is free on Eventbrite; enter your name, title, and company exactly as you want them on the nametag. Holiday attire is encouraged, with prizes for the top three outfits.

LaunchBio runs founder and investor programming across U.S. life-sciences hubs; BioLabs is the shared lab campus on Scranton. Greg Jensen is listed for a short 2026 funding-trends overview on the LaunchBio page. This is practical raise talk for early-stage operators—how a mixed stack can fund the next milestone, and how it can also mess up a cap table.

Founders and finance leads piecing together non-dilutive and dilutive capital will get the densest hour. Ask about rights you might lock up too early and what later investors flag in a messy stack. SABA-SD’s installation dinner Downtown the next night and ACG’s Del Mar holiday the following week are different rooms.

Scranton Road is Sorrento Valley drive geography—leave buffer for evening 805 and I-5 traffic. Keep the Eventbrite confirmation for suite 500. Re-check LaunchBio if panel names firm up after you RSVP.
