Biotechnology Venture Development:
The New Rules of Engagement
Saturday, April 5, 2008
With more than $84 billion in blockbuster drugs losing their US patent protection in 2007, Big Pharma is looking for expeditious ways to fill their pipeline with drugs capable of delivering attractive returns to their share holders while improving the health of millions of people across the world. One of the most popular models for accomplishing this objective is to partner with small biotech companies that have shown encouraging results at Pre-Clinical, Phase One and Phase Two of the FDA regulatory approval process. Since 2002 we have seen an increase in the size of these deals that range from $30 million to $60 million at the Pre-Clinical level to more than $100 million for Phase One. Recently one of the companies presenting in this program was acquired by a foreign company for over $300 million. Steve Burrill, the CEO of Burrill & Company and the premier VC firm in this space, as well as the other participants will share their insights on how strategic partnerships help to raise company valuations and make them a more attractive target for acquisition.
