Entrepreneurs are not only seeking funding from angel investors; they also compete for the distinguished honor of being selected as the 2023 Stephen M. Goodman Most Valued Company Award Winner. After listening to pitches, networking with the entrepreneurs, investors then use their votes to determine a winner. In 1969 the then young Philadelphia lawyer, Stephen Goodman, began representing emerging companies. Mr. Goodman believed in encouraging entrepreneurs and the importance of developing innovation.
Keiretsu Forum portfolio company, Carmell Therapeutics was a 2018 recipient of the Stephen M. Goodman Most Valued Company Award. Carmell creates patented technology used as both a bone healing accelerant and a tissue healing accelerant. Carmell successfully executed an Exit in 2023. “For us to come out as the most valuable company was meaningful because it gave validation that we have put together all the necessary pieces to be successful going forward,” says Randy Hubbell, President, and CEO of Carmell Therapeutics. “Exposure at Expo and winning the Goodman Award gave us the fuel needed to reach key FDA milestones, create value, and develop a regulator platform to get institutional investments for Phase Three clinical trials.” Carmell was recently listed on the Nasdaq, represents one of the more recent exits for Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic and South-East.
