The annual AIM-HI Women’s Venture Competition provides critical early-stage funding for women entrepreneurs in oncology. The winning company is eligible to receive up to a $1 million equity investment from AIM-HI and co-investors, subject to due diligence, to fund pre-clinical investigations. Ultimately, this financing helps to bring next-generation therapeutics, diagnostics, and prevention technologies to patients.
The deadline to apply for the 2024 Competition was March 15. All valid applications are being reviewed and screened by our Selection Committee based on the quality of responses, and semi-finalists will be announced around late April or early May.
