Biotech Went to Work as the World Stayed Home

The capital market raises for biotech have been just incredible over the past year: a record 60.5% YoY increase. 73 biotech IPOs saw a 34.5% YoY increase in IPO exit size. Step-up multiples from the last private round’s post-money valuation to IPO pre-money valuation spiked as well.

One of the key drivers shaping the industry: new financing structures are emerging as viable options. The traditional angel/VC route is no longer the only option for the substantial capital raises needed for R&D and clinical trials.

If you’re a biotech executive, why are you not running at this market as fast as possible?
