CEO360 Life Sciences Cohort

Frequently Asked Questions

  • CEO360 cohorts are limited: 25 CEOs, 2 chairs and five partners.
  • Each Life Sciences company is vetted to ensure chemistry within the group and that there are no competitors within the same cohort. 
  • CEO360 meets monthly.
  • On a quarterly basis, we hold Investor Pitch Contests, also called VC Demo Days, where CEOs compete and present to Investors. 
  • CEOs are charged $1,000 annually, paid in advance.
  • CEO360 may choose to provide scholarships or payment plans for CEOs facing financial hardship on a case-by-case basis 
  • Fees are not refundable or transferable.
  • CEO360 accepts credit cards, checks or cash payments. 
  • Creating a confidential, trusting environment has been the key to CEO360 success since the program’s inception.
  • CEO360 enforces a strict non-selling policy where anyone soliciting services is immediately dropped from the cohort including CEOs, partners, or guest speakers.
  • CEOs act as advisors to fellow CEOs and become close friends within cohorts. Trust is the critical element.
  • CEO360 also maintains a “no jerk” policy, in which any participant showing disrespect or is unwilling to be supportive of others is immediately dropped from the cohort.
  • Several CEO360 CEOs have received funding from grants and investors during their time with CEO360.
  • Over the past three years, we have observed that the CEOs that are coachable, vulnerable, collaborative, and committed to improvement advance quickly.
  • The most successful CEOs have usually presented 5-6 times in front of a CEO360 group. The least successful CEOs remain in the background.
  • Being an early-stage CEO is very challenging. CEO360 helps shape CEOs to become more confident leaders who can articulate their value proposition and support it with solid science. Thes skills are learned through trial and error.
  • CEO360 is not filled with business coaches here to teach general skills. Instead, our mentors and trusted advisors come from the Life Science’s capital financing, strategic advisory, and M&A world and work day-in and day-out with Life Sciences companies professionally.
  • CEO360 is results focused, not offering a preformatted curriculum. In other words, we want to see CEOs build successful companies.
  • CEO360 is not for everybody. That’s OK. We are focused on CEOs that have a passion to win and do everything within our power to help them.
  • CEO360 holds CEOs accountable to themselves and their cohort to accept advice, honor commitments and get s@!t done.
  • CEO360 cohorts are currently located and launching within key Life Sciences markets within the US – San Diego and San Francisco. Future markets include Boston, Los Angeles, Boulder/ Denver, Austin, Scottsdale/ Phoenix, and NY/NJ to name a few,.  Virtual cohorts are also being launched to accommodate international participants.
  • The community of Life Sciences universities, investors, pharmaceutical companies, law firms, financial advisory, lenders, drug and medical device manufacturing firms, and trusted advisors form an ecosystem that surround early-stage CEOs.
  • CEO360 harnesses our relationships within the ecosystem to propel CEOs forward.
  • We believe that with our help, access, and advice from the ecosystem, CEO360 CEOs will one day be significant players in that same ecosystem.

Beyond our “no jerk policy”, a great peer CEO in the CEO360 program possesses several key qualities that make them effective and valuable contributors to the growth of their leadership, their fellow leaders and the program. Here are the essential traits that define an exceptional peer CEO:

  • Leadership Experience and Expertise
  • Strong Communication Skills
    • Active listeners who pay close attention to their peers
    • Able to articulate complex ideas clearly
    • Skilled at asking thought-provoking questions
    • Capable of providing constructive feedback
  • Emotional Intelligence
    • Understand and empathize with their peers’ situations
    • Demonstrate compassion and sensitivity
    • Build trust and rapport easily
    • Manage their own emotions effectively
  • Commitment to Growth and Learning
    • Stay updated on industry trends and best practices
    • Seek personal growth opportunities
    • Encourage a growth mindset in themselves and in their peers
  • Strategic Thinking
  • Accountability and Goal-Setting
    • Assist in calibrating goals to align with business needs
    • Support peers in visualizing and achieving their objectives
    • Provide consistent follow-up and encouragement
  • Integrity and Ethics
  • Adaptability and Resilience

CEO Requirements:

  • Must show up – CEOs must not miss more than 2 meetings per year.
  • You put skin in the game and pay $1,000 per year in advance (significantly less than comparable groups).
  • Must be coachable – CEOs must be willing to listen to advice, not be defensive, and consider multiple points of view.
  • Follow our policies, no-solicitation, maintain confidentiality, honor the “no jerk” policy, be respectful of other points of view, and be willing to share and collaborate.
  • CEOs must be willing to put in the effort to succeed and be accountable to themselves and fellow CEOs.

Monthly CEO360 Meetings

  • CEO360 meetings are four hours that are jammed packed with individual discussion, education, pitch presentations, and issue processing. Four hours flies by with everyone participating.
  • CEO360 meetings are fun. We maintain a casual and informal environment. This is where CEOs can be honest, forthcoming, and real.
  • We are focused on excellence and results. The best advice, the same level of support you would find from a paid Advisory Board, all designed to allow CEOs to win. Many of our CEOs use the CEO360 meeting format to prepare themselves for upcoming meetings with investors or larger strategic pharmaceutical or medical device companies.

 

Quarterly Investor Pitch Contests:

  • Pitch contests are four hours and involve at least 10 investors, multiple CEOs (including CEOs from other cohorts), partners, members of the press and Ecosystem key opinion leaders and dignitaries. Attendance is by invitation only, not advertised.
  • Networking happens in the beginning and after the contest over beverages and great food.
  • 10 CEOs compete in a 2.5 minute “Elevator Pitch” with an investor and the audience. No slides, no notes, just a timed impromptu conversation. The model is similar to meeting an investor at a cocktail party. The audience votes for the top four CEOs and their pitch.
  • The top four finalists get to present their pitch deck for 15 minutes uninterrupted, followed by an investor Q&A session.
  • The investors and partners vote for the winning CEO pitch.
  • Awards and recognition are given during a post-pitch reception.
  • Our experience is that the winners of the CEO360 Pitch contests gain access and recognition that leads to greater exposure to investors and subsequent funding.
  • CEO360 Pitch contests are fun and valuable for CEOs.
