See http://www.socaltech.com/calendar/eventid/24481 February 12, Irvine -- 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.

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.
