Last week, we shared 8 firms in Atlanta that invest in healthcare and life sciences.

It’s an amazing list but many incredible startups are outside the investment theses of these firms.

I consulted the big guns to expand the list!

Insert Jane McCracken.

Founder, CEO, Board Member, Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Angel Investor, Life Sciences Guru, and Awesome Human.

She has taken multiple companies public, led multiple companies as CEO, and founded multiple companies with successful exits (several in life sciences). And she lives RIGHT HERE IN ATLANTA. 🤯🚀🦄

Jane had great recommendations! (Duh.)

Here are 10 more investment resources to check out if you’re building in the life sciences, medical device, or biotech space.

**With a BONUS SECTION for “Who’s Who in Life Sciences in the Southeast.”**

Let the life science innovation continue!
