Declining R&D productivity, ballooning development costs, and increasing product lead times pose significant challenges for life science and medical device companies striving to fill product pipelines and meet growth expectations. Even when compounds and devices have passed through the regulatory process, pricing pressure from payers and the competitive landscape make it difficult to position and launch new products. Generics and shorter-market exclusivity windows are threatening revenues. At the same time, these pressures provide opportunities for innovative companies as competition increases amongst mature cashed-up companies trying to access good innovation.

We help companies innovate, fund, develop, market, and launch ground-breaking products in an environment where raising capital is increasingly costly and competition is fierce. For example:
