Next Phase Issue 100: A Look Back at Our Top Five Articles
By Michael Quigley, Director of Research, LSN

 

In honor of the 100th edition of the Next Phase newsletter, LSN would like to share five of the most popular articles to date. These articles provide a great snapshot of what this newsletter is all about: educating entrepreneurs and investors on the early stage life-science-investment landscape and providing tactical advice to entrepreneurs on how best to present their opportunity to the life science investment community. These articles all stem from our daily dialogues with both investors and entrepreneurs from around the world; this experience allows us to act as an information portal between these two groups.

Without further ado, here are the top five articles.
  1. 11 Tips for Creating a Successful Pitch Deck
  2. LSN Published in Nature Bioentrepreneur: "Beyond Venture Capital"
  3. Formulating the Introductory Email to Potential Investors
  4. Pharma-Licensing Deal Trends in 2014
  5. 10 Steps to a Life Science Fundraising Campaign

By Nono Hu, Senior Manager, Branding & Messaging, LSN

This week, LSN would like to share the RESI 4 Diagnostic Investor Panel recap video with you. The panel features five investors from a highly diverse group of both for-profit and nonprofit investment organizations in the diagnostics field.

 

Watch the video if you are interested to learn more about the types of investors currently investing in early stage diagnostics companies.   The investors answer relevant questions about the diagnostics field, including:  What do investors want to know about a company's reimbursement plan? How do regulatory challenges impact funding decisions? What information should companies provide to investors initially?  How do you create an elevator pitch that will make an investor want to hear more about your company...
