Your fundraising efforts certainly won’t slow down this summer, nor will the team at Life Science Nation. We’re always on the clock, committed to providing early stage life science companies and investors with the critical data necessary to create compelling connections between technology and funding. In this spirit, LSN’s Next Phase will be publishing one chapter each week of our hit book from last summer, The Life Science Executive’s Fundraising Manifesto by Dennis Ford.
The Life Science Executive’s Fundraising Manifesto helps scientists understand the fundamental skills needed to brand and market their companies. It discusses how to use a consistent message to achieve compelling results from a fundraising campaign and how to aggregate a list of potential global investors that are a fit for your company’s products and services. The book also explains how to efficiently and effectively reach out to potential investor targets, start a dialogue that fosters a relationship, and ultimately secure capital allocations.
The LSN Summer Reading series begins with “The Legal Landscape: A Basic Overview.” Contributed by Gerard P O’Connor, Esq, this first chapter provides a whistle-stop tour of all the legal issues a fundraising CEO needs to consider when raising capital.

O’Connor introduces the regulatory bodies a fundraising CEO will encounter, defines accredited investors, and presents some of the alternative options to pursuing venture capital funds. The chapter also informs entrepreneurs regarding key concepts in dealmaking, including dilution, terms, and working with brokers.
We hope you find this exploration of the legal considerations involved in fundraising to be informative. Join us next week for Chapter 2 — “Crowdfunding and IPOs.”
