Biotechnology Associates

Venture Funding

Biotechnology Associates facilitates venture funding of companies requiring seed capital, first & second round, and mezzanine financing. We contract with companies to help find venture money for implementation of their business plans. BTA has wide contacts in the venture industry, access to angel funding, and experience in business operations including:

Business plan preparation
Technology platforms
Marquee personnel for advisory and business boards

This makes the process of finding and securing investment money much more sensible for the small company CEO.

BTA helps companies at all stages of development, from emerging growth enterprises to large, profitable businesses. We can contact investment sources up to $200 million in equity for a single transaction and will consider a variety of investment structures, including minority equity positions, leveraged recapitalizations and management buyouts. Whether your company is looking for early stage financing or expansion, acquisition and buyout financing, BTA can structure a transaction that meets your specific goals and growth requirements.

BTA will consider representing companies in almost any industry but has a particular focus on high-growth sectors. Our investment professionals are constantly analyzing industries to identify emerging market trends and industry restructuring that could lead to above-average growth. Traditionally our background has been in medical devices, biotechnology & pharmaceuticals, healthcare services, Internet & e-commerce, and enterprise software & information services.

In addition to resourcing venture funding opportunities, BTA has established focused investment contacts with major corporations around the world. Through the close relationships we have developed with these investors, we can offer portfolio companies access to senior executives at the corporations and can facilitate the formation of mutually beneficial research, production and marketing arrangements.

BTA is able to assist companies with a wide range of activities beyond financing. Examples include:

Organizing management buyout teams
Recruiting key executives and board members
Establishing international sales and marketing capabilities
Developing offshore manufacturing and sourcing operations
Identifying and implementing licensing agreements, joint ventures and other strategic alliances
Identifying and funding acquisitions
Completing initial public offerings and high-yield debt offerings
