Biotechnology Investing - If it were easy, everyone would

What makes biotech investment is very difficult that 90 percent of companies have no income. Therefore, standard financial analysis (EPS, growth rates, etc.) is irrelevant. If you want to keep the player a few dozen or so profitable, you need to do more "close the numbers." And as companies become profitable to tell their stories better than sliced bread may be qualified, regardless deceiving investors.

This short piece offers severalWarning signs to avoid wasting time in "Never Gonna Happen", so you can spend more time on the following: '. It gotta chance "

First, look for more data points of congruence. No single attribute (for example, large market opportunity) is to guide the investment. Not a red flag (eg, nepotism) should be a deal killer. Each company is different than any other and requires a thorough investigation very specific. You can start with a generic checklist as a starting point for crude oil. ThisPeople, for example, firm age, the accumulated deficit and the capital was badder than all three. A management team that has the top for 15 years and put the boat in circles is probably among investors for a ride. It is said that if something seems a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a hoax until proven otherwise. Through understanding, you can lose an occasional nugget excavators or ten, but it also buys less and your Fool's GoldPortfolio will receive much less often rejected.

Secondly, spend time with research in the history of the company. In general their websites will provide an archive of press releases (PRS). Pay particular attention to the projections (preliminary clinical trials, research a corporate partner, announced the clinical results). You can view the amount of boiler plate text is to be surprised at any PR. More importantly, tracing the company projections, it is easy to see if the company hits its lines of constant time orif you only offer over-promise and under. Re looking for consistency of behavior.

Many investors, professional and are not entitled to most of their investment decisions on the basis of trust in management. More than a capitalist or a venture fund manager told me "..., management, administration. " You may have heard that can drive a very successful management of mediocre art, but poor management is more likely to fail even with the latest aha Doodad. Maybe.But let me temper that a little 'mantra. The with-con in the game is short for confidence. If you're lucky, meet with management, ask a few questions that you know the answer. One source of such issue is the company 10-K annual report form filed with the SEC. For example, in the middle of the 90 years I have learned from a 10-K, a biotech company based in Florida to conduct a clinical study in Florida (and only in Florida) without FDA approval. In an interview, Ithe boss asked why all of its sites of investigation were in Florida. Clearly shocked, the CEO has not been answered. His response helped to calibrate each response that followed. He was very confident of its future success. E 'was ten years after our conversation that the company failed.

should Here are three other red flags that urge caution.

The most common is nepotism a liability, if only because it is a bit 'less than a bona fide professional-oriented information society. And if you3 reveal a preponderance 1) students from the same university, 2) or siblings of the same fraternity or sorority) recruitment patterns, the bias suggests a fool, but routine to be hesitant.

Be careful if there are two classes of common stock. Often the founders, members of the family or a few early investors voting rights of the super-class (for example, 10 votes per share) to be during the rest of us can only buy shares of regular voting (one vote per share). This family-run farms oftenThis approach to control. Problems arise when family problems are not aligned with the interests of investors. The counting of votes, because they are what counts when important decisions to make.

comprising thousands of biotech companies in the last 30 years, finding a catchy name of the information has always been a challenge. There are only so many Greek gods and goddesses to choose from. Clearly, the prefix and suffix nova gene causes them toCourse. Early-stage companies are often identified by a name or two to go before he is down. But for other companies, a name change may say more. Just as people change their name if firm 1) to marry, 2) getting a divorce, or 3) they are hiding from their past. Based on Shakespeare, "What we call a rose (or Stinkweed) / By any other word would smell as sweet (or smell)." Some changes are innocuous name, for example, that a business model changed, the others are reallyCover for an inglorious past.

These are just some of the warning signs that I have collected over the past 30 years. For over 12 years I was a researcher in a major agricultural biotechnology companies, large pharmaceutical companies and small biotech companies. I was a venture capitalist for three years (sixteen of public investment has lost 15 or acquired) and became an independent Buyside analyst since 1995. I have heard many stories.

I am a big fan of Penn State footballCoach Joe Paterno. [Full Disclosure: I obtained my PhD at Penn State ... Go Lions!). One of the most important strategies is the coach has always maintained a strong defense. If the first rule of investing is "do not lose money, 'then the strategy will provide investors with more biotech goods. See, that was not so difficult after all.

Middle Eastern and Islamic Venture Capital Market

The Islamic & Middle Eastern Market Venture Capital Despite the fact that there are literally millions of Muslim entrepreneurs in both developed and developing countries in search of investment capital for their new start-ups, is the realm of Islamic venture capital in an evolutionary state. However, the untapped potential of Islamic venture capital remains enormous. Moreover, the Islamic world has more than its fair share of investors with high-end net worth looking atInvestment in potentially lucrative deals. To lead the convergence of both a "necessity" and a "delivery" will inevitably mean that the creation of a new product, and it is also so in the case of purely Islamic venture capital.

The core is all planned Islamic finance business that Sharia law prohibits (Islamic law) interest-based lending. In addition, Sharia prohibits further investment in specific activities as a violation of Islam, are seen as gambling at.

However, inBeings, not the mechanics of venture capital for not lending. Rather, the core of a venture capital financing is an agreement to participate in the risks of the enterprise in return for the profits derived from such business venture.

As such, rather than hold it against Islamic law, many scholars, that venture capital funding in line with one of the cornerstone principles of Islam, it provides much-needed investment in start-up companies in exchange forthe potential gains, while accepting the risks that may be involved in such a transaction. This kind of structure in Islamic finance mudaraba is funding, which is used for many centuries in the Islamic world.

Structuring an Islamic Venture Capital Deal

The exact translation of a mudaraba financing is a contract under which a person (the investor known as Rabal-maal), brings together the financing and the other person, the operator (known as the mudarib)brings expertise and effort. Together, they share the profit ratio according to the predetermined arrangement.

Fundamental to the mudaraba financing structure, however, is the fact that the entrepreneur running the risk of being given a financial investment / value. If the business venture fails, the entrepreneur will lose the maximum investment they make in the corporate sector itself (that is, could their own money), and all the time and effort into itVenture. The reason why this is the case because under Islam, one can not lose, not what you contribute.

Moreover, strictly speaking, under a mudaraba financing structure, the investor is not allowed, in the management affairs of the enterprise, we have invested in which they participate, they are just an investor - period. Day-to-day and overall management of the company must be left to the entrepreneur.

Differences between Islamic and Western VC funding

While the mudaraba Islamic financing structure does not provide for a form of venture capitalism, it also raises some questions that the West can find venture capital fund is un-relaxed.

A key difference between venture capital investments, which correspond with the Sharia, and which is seen more frequently in the West, the allocation of loss.

Traditionally, venture capital funds invest in businesses with high risk, where there is an above average chance that the businessnot be viable, but where the profit is very high on the head. In most cases, this has focused around the area of technology companies, but today it could apply to other industries such as media and medicine. A recurring theme is "high risk". For example, each of Yahoo!, Did Google, Apple, YouTube, MySpace, at some point or another has received venture capital financing. And for each of these successes, there have been hundred faults!

As the ventureCapital funds in the past to invest a high risk sector firms, over time, venture capital firms have a structure that sets it apart from the investment exit: allows you put (a) with maximum profit, and (b) with minimal losses. As we shall see, under the Islamic sharia, those two become a problem. One of the first debate, looking for all venture capital fund to invest in a company need to do this is how they leave, from the company. All things being theselected as the exit from the venture capital fund will, through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of shares in the company to the general public. However, in order to choose an IPO as an exit strategy in an Islamic venture capital fund investments have structure, is not allowed. Therefore, an alternative mechanism must be considered.

On the downside, as mentioned above, in the worst case, if the company can not succeed, the entrepreneur (mudarib) does not lose more thanthe time and effort they invested in the company. As such, in fact, the investor bears the brunt of the financial risk in the failure of the company. Thus, traditional procedures, if not, the venture capital fund would limit losses, or otherwise give the venture capital firm the advantage over other investors in the company in a bankruptcy scenario, as the use of a preference share structure which is forbidden under Islamic law.

The second key differencedeal between a Western structure of venture capital financing and an Islamic venture capital financing deal relates to the management of the company itself creates. In almost all cases of venture capital investments in the West, will be the venture capital fund with a team that will bring the business, either directly (hands-on ") or monitored carefully to the direction in which the business is. In fact, so important is this aspect of venture capitalism in the West, that is to say, most consultantsEntrepreneurs, if a venture capital fund is or is not willing to take on this role and should bring on board the experiences they have gained, then they do not choose the venture capital fund as part of the business. Given the limitations mudaraba, many scientists regard this as a forbidden!
