Pitch your MICR BES 2017 2017 MICROBIOME INVEST Pitch your Microbes Winner 2017 Follow in the footsteps of our previous presenting companies at Pitch Your Microbes Microbiome Invest 2017. At Microbiome Invest 2017, Gallinée won the Pitch Your Microbes competition, securing a year s access to the Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLINX Facility. Marie Drogo Founder The Microbiome Invest Congress was such an amazing event for Gallinée. Not only did I meet great people like S-Biomedic and AnimalBiome, we also got in contact with very interesting investors. Learn about the successes and challenges our Pitch your Microbes 2017 finalists have experienced since the event during the Where Are They Now? panel on this year s agenda. We just closed a deal with Unilever Ventures thanks to people we met at your event. My advice to start-ups is to focus on building your product early, test it, lead your vision with associated data and a pilot study, then create this around your real customers needs and feedback. Don t focus all your efforts on investment too early, it is more important to demonstrate what your product will achieve. Marie Drogo, Founder, Gallinée Shannon Doyle, Founder, Smart Flora 5
