4D and Biomedical Venturing

The UK biomedical venturing sector is unrecognisable from 5 years ago. Out of the ruins of the old boom time 'escalator' model of VC funding has emerged a more fragmented and complex financing environment.   With finance available - notwithstanding the credit crunch - from many more types of provider, the challenge is to create ventures which have aligned their product development, commercialisation and financing and exit strategies into a coherent business plan.
