Our approach

We aim to source cash-rich bioscience companies whose market values are either lower than, or close to, their existing cash balances, and where the science is, as yet, unproven.

We will purchase these ‘fallen angels’, at or near to their current market value for equity in the acquiring entity, and the return of a significant portion of their cash back to existing shareholders of the Company and acquiring entity.

Once acquired, and with the help of the new technologies, we will undertake an assessment of the drug development programme and if there is a path to allow the science to work in a different context. Where this pathway exists, we aim to provide additional support and advice, giving management the opportunity to continue to develop its technology. Once or if revived, we will seek to sell the technology to independent third parties to complete the remaining clinical trials, development and marketing processes. A significant portion of the proceeds from the sale of these technologies will be returned to shareholders and stakeholders in the companies we have acquired.
