FEATURED EDITORIAL

Does Biotech Need More (Government) Funding — Or A New Growth Model?

Biotechs have been able to present to investors primarily as a scientific enterprise; manufacturing concerns remained downstream, to be addressed at some future point. Increasingly, investors want to know, “Who is your scale-up and manufacturing partner?” Maybe that's now more important than how much government funding a biotech has been able to raise. The outsourcing decision itself becomes part of the investment thesis. How do we weld this into a model investors will jump into?
