OUR APPROACH
Our experienced team of industry and finance experts form a unique platform to develop the best financing story together with our clients. We emphasize on a clear and easy to understand presentation of the technology, development plan, competitive positioning, market potential and financial model. With the broadest portfolio of life sciences and capital markets data bases, we also add value with in-depth market intelligence not only to the management, but also to the board and shareholders.
Science-Driven Deal Selection
Professional investment documents are very critical for the first investor approach. Life Sciences companies often fail to transport a clear equity story and outline their key differentiation factors or uniqueness compared to other technologies. In addition, documents often lack important “investor-specific” information and are too science-driven
- FCF supports to strategically position our clients, fine-tune the equity story, upgrade the investment documents and implement key sections to the investment documents
Smart Process Management
The management may lack fundraising experience and capacity for managing a financing process while simultaneously focusing on its business development
- FCF pro-actively manages the financing process with automated investor approaches and follow-ups, streamlining investor communications
- FCF manages the transaction from the first investor approach to closing
- FCF can provide additional capacities to the management and can act as an “external finance department”
