Georgia’s the life sciences hub you’ve never really thought about, or so says Russell Allen, a founder of the Bio/Med Investor Network, a new coalition of life science angels in Atlanta. The spanking-new network is looking for startups in the biomedical, medtech and health IT spaces.
Allen presented the business case for attracting life sciences startups to Georgia:
“With the CDC and all the great research universities, the life sciences scene is surprisingly strong here,” he said. “There’s also a very strong business climate in the state – it’s relatively low cost and the tax policy attracts a number of companies because it’s good compared to much of the rest of the country.”
