BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:How to Fund Your Lifescience Startup DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:How to Fund Your Lifescience Startup. OCTANe. Fund-raising and partnering for small to medium sized life sciences companies are more challenging in today’s capital sourcing environment. These challenges include a smaller number of venture funds, investors favoring later-stage opportunities and a greater focus on revenue-generating assets. Yet despite these challenges, many early stage and new life science companies are getting funded and completing accelerated financing. Of course, the successful companies start with an attractive product concept or technology that clearly addresses an unmet need. Importantly, however, they also develop a compelling plan and implement the necessary company structuring in advance of the partnering process.
