Financing as mother's milk for international biotechnology start-ups
by Preeta M. Banerjee
International Journal of Technoentrepreneurship (IJTE), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2009

Abstract: This paper uses interviews of biotechnology investors and entrepreneurs to investigate the role of four investor types and eight financing vehicles across four stages of firm evolution. The choice of financing vehicle can have a differential impact on speed to market, control of direction, degree of technological risk, and capability development. This framework will be helpful for entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics and the international trade community in anticipating the impact of financing on firm and technology development – particularly as biotechnology firms are developing the next generation of drugs, therapeutics, devices, tools and diagnostics for curing human disease.
