By Greg Mannix, Vice President International Business Development, General Manager Europe, LSN
Every successful entrepreneur will tell you that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find discover your prince. Or put more directly, you need to talk to a lot of potential investors and/or licensing partners in order to close a funding round. It really is a numbers game. But how do you identify the hundreds of investment firms out there that would be a fit for your product and stage of development?
LSN has been helping early-stage life science companies develop their Global Target List (GTL) of investors for over 10 years now, based on a couple of very basic premises:
- Your GTL must be exclusively based on fit.
- If you have your story straight and have the right tools to present it, you can reach out to your GTL without a warm referral.
A great source for your GTL that LSN has been curating for over 10 years is the LSN Investor Database, tracking 3,000+ investment firms and over 10,000 contacts. Once you filter for your technology and stage of development, you will generate a list of hundreds of investors and licensing partners who are a fit.
COMING SOON:
LSN is continuously looking for ways to improve our offerings to startups by way of new tools and services. Very soon we will be announcing the launch of the GLOBAL PARTNERING CAMPAIGN app, a custom app in a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) program that will combine the benefits of using a CRM to organize your outreach with the powerful LSN Investor Database. Some functions of the platform that will help you stay organized:
- Create your Global Target List from the LSN Database
- Track all of your activities (emails, calls, meeting) with each investor automatically
- Run reports and generate lists for specific activities
- Set task reminders for each investor
If you would like to learn more and see what your own GTL would look like in the LSN Investor Database, just book a meeting with our BD Team below.
