Unlocking the Secrets of Successful Life Science Start-Ups

By James F. Jordan, a seasoned author, consultant, and speaker, with a background as a Distinguished Service Professor of Healthcare & Biotechnology Management, a former Fortune 100 executive, and a managing director of a venture fund.

Innovation, Commercialization, and Start-Ups in Life Sciences is a comprehensive guide that delves into the methodologies necessary to create a successful life science start-up from initiation to exit. It focuses on the specific processes and investor milestones that must be navigated to align customer, funder, and acquirer needs.

Written by an expert who has worked with nearly 500 life science start-ups, this book discusses the importance of understanding the necessary data, partnerships, and skills needed to create a competitive and sustainable company. It also covers how to determine a company’s valuation and future “fundable milestones,” how to align regulatory and clinical strategies, and how to ensure intellectual property is impervious to competitive advancement.

This book is intended to be suitable for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and investors in both business and academic settings. These organizations have specific departments, such as R&D, operations, business development, legal, regulatory, and marketing, that would also benefit from this book.
