Business Of Biotech

If there's anyone qualified to analyze an early-stage therapeutic technology and place bets with other people's money, it's scientist-turned-venture capitalist Jonathan Behr, Ph.D. He built a distinguished venture capital career on the back of an MIT Ph.D. in biological engineering, having co-founded no fewer than 7 life sciences companies, served on or observed the boards of at least 17, and led investments at Pure Tech Ventures, the JDRF T1D Fund, SV Health investors, and now, the Dementia Discovery Fund, where he's a partner. Drawing from all that experience, this episode of the Business of Biotech delivers a trove of knowledge on biotech corporate finance and entrepreneurship, as well as the interplay between business strategy and influences like regulatory and scientific trends. We focus on the spirited neurodegenerative space, where case studies in investment and regulatory success and missteps abound. Tune in here and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!
