Nucleate Michigan – MBVF Seminar #2: Christina Drake

Join Nucleate Michigan and the Michigan Biomedical Venture Fund (MBVF) for our Fall '26 Lecture Series, a 3-part seminar program that explores what it is to evaluate and build biotech ideas from concept to clinic. Speakers will provide experiential expertise and case study insight on venture capital investment, life sciences business development, and startup strategy. Our third session features Christina Drake, Partner at Renaissance Venture Capital. She will share insights from over a decade of experience in venture capital due diligence, business development strategy, and asset portfolio marketing. Most importantly, Christina serves as a beacon for empowering the next generation of female investors and venture capitalists, successfully founding a dedicated ERG at Fund Evaluation Group, LLC. FYI: By attending the full series, you are accessing the opportunity to engage in the MBVF Innovation Fellowship, a 6-month program in which you will build hands-on experience in biotech ecosystem landscaping and sourcing new technologies.
