Pathway to Success

Shaping your technology into commercial success.

That’s the goal of every entrepreneur. But how do you get there? What steps do you need to take? At the PLSG, our domain experience will help you make the connections you need and provide the knowledge to answer the big questions:

  • How do I find the commercial opportunity for my science?
  • Where does my technology fit into today’s reimbursement system?
  • What is the customer-investor-acquirer relationship?

Navigating the path to commercialization isn’t easy.

Sure, it takes money. But sometimes you’re missing the right management team, the right resources to navigate a complex regulatory problem, or solid market research to support your commercialization plan. Our Executives-in-Residence have had successful careers in life sciences, and can guide you to success as well. And our team of Investment Managers can provide information and resources to steer you in the right direction.

The PLSG has worked with nearly 500 companies and scores of entrepreneurs in all aspects of life sciences. While they all share a desire to turn their technology into profitable commercialized products, each entrepreneur has his or her own thoughts on what contributes to the ultimate success of a venture. Here, in their own words, are a few of those thoughts and keys to success.
