Fintan Walton, PhD, PharmaVentures’ Chief Executive Officer, says, “As experts in deals and alliances in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector, we have in-depth knowledge of the workflows and information needs of business development and licensing executives. Access to comprehensive and reliable financial data is vital, and we are delighted to have forged this partnership to complement our own proprietary PharmaDeals® v2 database”.
Corey Lavinsky, CEO for Growthink Research, adds, “In our work analyzing venture capital activity, we have carefully tracked over 8,800 U.S.-based, venture-funded companies, many within the bioscience industry. Our data is an invaluable resource for companies looking to raise capital or to identify new clients. Working with PharmaVentures will help us target new markets internationally that have a strong and persistent demand for this high quality financial information”.
