A business framework for bringing biotech from lab to market

Stephanie A. Wisner connects biotechnology, start-up formation and finance through the book’s “Building Backwards” approach. The discussion centers on planning a biotech venture with its eventual goals in view, including capital raising, clinical and scientific strategy, and identifying business and research risks early. The book also takes up larger questions about how medicines and vaccines reach the marketplace and why they can be expensive. Entrepreneurship is presented as a means of helping cutting-edge science reach patients, including people living with diseases described as untreatable.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People curious about how biotechnology ventures are formed and financed
  • Aspiring biotech entrepreneurs interested in planning, strategy and risk

Book overview

Ever wonder how medicines and vaccines enter the marketplace? Why they are so expensive? Most people have heard about Theranos, a story of failure: how do biotechnology start-ups actually succeed?

 

In Building Backwards to Biotech, author Stephanie A. Wisner demystifies the subjects of biotechnology, start-ups, and finance to answer these questions. Wisner unlocks the secrets of how to build a biotech company successfully by keeping one process always in mind: Building Backwards.

 

In this book you will understand the concept of Building Backwards and how it can:

  • Increase your chances of starting a "winning" company
  • Inform capital raising
  • Lead to a strong clinical and scientific strategy
  • Mitigate business and scientific risk from the outset

 

Wisner believes in the power of entrepreneurship to drive cutting-edge science to market successfully and its ability to help people suffering with diseases currently considered untreatable. She believes good science combined with innovative business practices has the power to literally save and enrich lives. Building Backwards to Biotech will make it easier for interested individuals to bring this kind of work to a waiting world.
