On Wednesday, May 14, bwtech welcomed members of our client community for an insightful Lunch & Learn session on one of the most important—but often overlooked—aspects of startup success: regulatory strategy.
Led by bwtech Entrepreneurs in Residence Richard Chipkin and Fehmida Kapadia, the session, titled “Navigating the Regulatory Landscape,” focused on helping founders build a strong foundation for product development and compliance. The discussion covered:
- How to craft a smart regulatory strategy early in the product development process
- A breakdown of the FDA regulatory pathway and what startups need to know
- Real-world tips for streamlining compliance and avoiding costly delays
Rick and Fehmida brought deep expertise and practical advice that resonated with both early-stage and growth-focused companies working in health tech, biotech, and beyond. “Understanding the regulatory landscape isn’t just a box to check—it’s a competitive advantage,” noted Fehmida. “It allows you to innovate with confidence.”
Thank you to Rick and Fehmida for sharing their time and knowledge with the bwtech community. Their guidance empowers startups to move smarter and faster, translating innovation into real-world impact.
At bwtech, we believe that access to expertise is a catalyst for growth. Events like this Lunch & Learn are just one of the many ways we support our founders and innovators as they navigate the path from idea to commercialization.
