Reality check

To investors, the following services are offered:

  • Taking a scientific and regulatory snapshot of an innovative idea, project or product
  • Assessing the scientific position (What is available to date, both from development and from peer-reviewed literature? What is critical?)
  • Addressing the technological position (In what phase is the production? What is novel about the production strain, the starting materials or the process? What is known about composition and impurities? What is critical?)
  • Assessing the regulatory position (What is the formal position? What can be learned from examples? What is critical?)
  • Interviewing independent experts
  • Defining milestones and preparing a plan for further development and acceptance
  • Estimating timing and costs of further development
  • Assessing overall probability of success, from a scientific and regulatory perspective
  • Interviewing potential b-to-b customers
