Most of Our Companies/ProjectsAre Considered Development Stage

• All of the therapeutic partnerships we have completed are Phase IIb or earlier

– Majority have been at IND or pre IND stage

• We have gained an international reputation amongst Universities, Research Institutions, Government Agencies, and Government Policy Makers for being able to find commercialization and development partners for projects

• Several of the companies that we have formed have been the result of a pro-active search for specific technology or specific intellectual property

We Have Strong Deal Flow

• For the past nine years we have logged an average of 485 distinct transaction opportunities from across the globe

– Many of these are from non-G8 countries– Many of these come from the Outreach 5 countries

• We do little to no outbound marketing to attract this deal flow as 90% of our business is referral-based

• Experience and knowledge to determine commercial opportunities related to early stage technology

Why are Milestones Important?

• Achievement of them de-risks projects

• Lower risk, higher value

Page 26: How to Write a Business Plan 2012 Calit2 Auditorium Katan Associates ©2012. All Rights Reserved. Katan Associates.

26

Are you ready to start today ?• What do you have?• Why is it novel?• What is the market?• At what stage of development is it?• Can one technology support the formation of an entire company?• Who can help ?• Where do I get $$$$$$$ ?

Page 27: How to Write a Business Plan 2012 Calit2 Auditorium Katan Associates ©2012. All Rights Reserved. Katan Associates.

27

DP’s Issues

• Inability to tell the story properly

• Failure to meet or respect the time frame

• Failure to explain the value proposition

• Failure to disclose issues up-front

• Lack of knowledge of the competitive landscape

Page 28: How to Write a Business Plan 2012 Calit2 Auditorium Katan Associates ©2012. All Rights Reserved. Katan Associates.

28

It IS a Tough Road

• There is a high failure rate in new ventures– Approximately 20% are successful in obtaining more

than 1 round of capital

• VC’s strive for failure rates of 80% on investments– 5 in 10 investments fail – 3 in 10 investments breakeven

– 2 in 10 investments succeed • A 2010 report by PriceWaterhouseCoopers

indicates that only 10% to 15% of venture capital funds produce profit-generating firms

33

The Elevator Pitch• Do we know what this is ???• An elevator pitch (or elevator speech) is a brief

overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. • The pitch is so called because it can be delivered in the

time span of an elevator ride (say, thirty seconds or 100-150 words).

• Part Mission Statement• Part Positioning Statement

Page 34: How to Write a Business Plan 2012 Calit2 Auditorium Katan Associates ©2012. All Rights Reserved. Katan Associates.

What is a Business Plan ??• A business plan is any plan that works for a business to

look ahead, allocate resources, focus on key points, and prepare for problems and opportunities

• Plans don't sell new business ideas to investors. People do. Investors invest in people, not ideas. The plan, though necessary, is only a way to present information

Page 39: How to Write a Business Plan 2012 Calit2 Auditorium Katan Associates ©2012. All Rights Reserved. Katan Associates.

39

Purpose• Business planning is about results • You need to make the contents of your plan match your

purpose • Don't accept a standard outline just because it's there

Clayton Christensen: Disruptive Technologies

• Main Principals– 1. Companies listen to their customers, and strive to bring to the market

the products their customers ask for.– 2. Small Markets Don’t Solve the Growth Needs of Large Companies. – 3. Markets that don’t exist can’t be analyzed: Get close to your customers,

learn their needs.– 4. Technology Supply May Not Equal Market demand.
