  6. VCs conduct ‘due diligence’ on all aspects of a business to maximize return • Management is capable and motivated 90% • Market demand is as expected 90% • Production is scaled up as planned 90% • Competition is held at bay and IP is defendable 90% • Liability and litigation is avoided 90% • Company has sufficient capital 90% • Existing customers are able and willing to pay 90% Success Probability 48% Sofinnova receives materials from 300-400 companies per year. Who has time for all that due diligence? Solution: Kill fast…maybe 1 in 20 get to ‘due diligence’, <1% are funded Source: David Eyler, Columbia University “Best Practice Guidance for Angel Groups – Due Diligence” July, 2007

  7. Assessing the market opportunity: Market Size, Trends • What are you selling? At what price? To whom? What fraction will pay? • Market needs to be large enough to support a new entry • Market growth trending up helps achieve desired market penetration • Existence of multiple potential buyers • Theil Theory: target markets in which you can establish a monopoly • Identify, enter small markets in which you can dominate • Create, develop product which can disrupt the market, cause significant growth • Result: dominance of a now large, growing market. • Example: PayPal *Special thanks to Wally Meyer

  8. Assessing the market opportunity: Competitive Landscape • Competitive analysis enables identification of new ventures • Competitive knowledge is a leverageable strength • Competitive conditions may: • Usurp available therapeutics/devices • Blunt differentiation • Drive up costs/drive down profitability • Impede achieving economies of scale *Special thanks to Wally Meyer

  21. Drug Mechanism Efficacy/Toxicity Formulation/Delivery Research and Development Chemistry, Manufacturing, Controls Scale up Intellectual Property • Validating ‘biology’ • Linking mechanism to disease • Understanding drug bioavailability • Predicting efficacy/tox and risks • ‘Voodoo’ magic • Understanding mechanisms • Plans for animal efficacy, IND • Reasonable cost and timeline • Drug synthesis, supply • Validation • Activity assays • Reproducibility • Stability • Pilot process feasibility • Costs/time to ‘go to market’ • Options for outsourcing • Technical understanding • Differentiation, competition VCs rely heavily on experts for technical risk assessment
