Lunch & Learn Webinar Series
One hour. Leadership thinking. Food for thought.
We’re excited to bring you something new. Invest in Equity’s Lunch & Learn webinar series is here: a space to pause, connect, and dig into the issues that matter most to investors working in life sciences VC.
Each one-hour session is designed to fit into your day without disrupting it. Expect timely perspectives, honest conversations, and practical takeaways on the leadership and equity considerations shaping our sector right now.
Leveraging IP for Strategic & Financial Value
10 June 2026
IP is often treated as a legal checkbox. In this session, Pernille reframes it as a strategic and financial lever: one that sharpens diligence, strengthens M&A and IPO packages, and protects value at exit.
Join Pernille Winding Gojkovic (CEO, HØIBERG) for a presentation on how best to leverage IP during diligence, growth, and exits.
Format: 45-min presentation · 15-min Q&A

Undervalued to Unavoidable: A conversation with Marissa Fayer
8 July 2025
Women spend 25% longer in poor health than men. The global economy loses nearly $1 trillion a year as a result. These are not gaps in awareness. They are design failures, and they are correctable.
Marissa Fayer has spent 25 years operating inside women’s health, as a medtech executive, a founder, and an investor. Her new book, Undervalued to Unavoidable, makes the economic case that the rest of the field keeps failing to make clearly: women’s health is not a niche. It is core infrastructure for functioning health systems and economies, and it has been systematically mispriced.
Our conversation with Marissa will discuss: the structural reasons the gap persists and the data behind them; what organisations making real progress have in common; and what the path forward looks like by role, whether you sit on an investment committee, lead a company, or shape clinical or commercial strategy.
The Invest in Equity Mentorship Program
August 2026
Invest In Equity is passionate about advancing gender equity in VC, and one of the ways we are doing this is by sponsoring the next generation of GPs. Our mentorship programme is targeted to women at the junior partner and principal level. We carefully match a small group of mentees with both female and male GPs and MPs. This one hour webinar is designed to answer any questions you have about the 2027 cohort, including who we’re targeting, how we can support you, and what good mentorship looks like.
Registration coming soon.

This is a valuable opportunity to hear from a senior voice in healthcare banking on where the sector stands and what’s coming next.
