What problem are we trying to solve?
Insufficient capital applied to scientific development
Crossing the “valley of death” in translational medicine
Large inventory of unfunded biomedical assets
Bias to invest in incremental versus revolutionary innovation
Impatient capital, aversion to future-financing risk
Inefficient capital deployment
Limited investment opportunities for institutional investors
Lack of new cures/solutions to some major social priorities

Globes 2013, Ruth Alon, general partner, Pitango VC
World Leadership in # of Granted Patents per Capita
Rapid growth in Life sciences R&D Companies
Global Success and Positioning ; Blockbuster Products in the Market (Copaxon, Rrbif, Erbitux, Doxil, Azilect, Exelon)
Strategic partnership with leading global companies: Merck KGA, Medtronic, Abbot, Boston Scientific, J&J, GE, Roche, St. Jude, Covidient, Takeda, Sanofi, Genentech
The industry drivers
High level and productive Academia – Basic & Applied
Strong Entrepreneurial spirit – serial entrepreneurs
Technology convergence and interdisciplinary
Human Capital – available, high level and qualified
World Largest VC availability per capita, investing 26% in Life Sciences
Government incentives – leverage the private sector in a risk related proportion (28% of budget for Life Sciences)
The Industry hurdles – Sustainable LS industry
However…. Fragmented Industry, Insufficient capital, lack of Business models and managerial expertise, 80% of companies has less than 25 employees, Limited Industrial Development, Early exit business strategy
Financial Infrastructure - Life Sciences $2220M Fund - JV Israeli government and private sector
(PPP). In addition to OCS grants, and syndicates
Strategic Partners - Global Pharma investment in seed companies (directly & via Incubator) ; Global
BioMed R&D centers
R&D Infrastructures - LS and Stem cell service R&D ; Tissue Bank
New Funding rout for applied and translational research in the academia
Life sciences fund(s)
Standard Venture Capital structure
LP’s will be the Israeli government and the private sector
Government commitment as a core LP
Minimal capital to be raised by private sector investors - LP’s
Experienced managers
Critical mass investment in Biopharma
Minimal governmental interference
Government Benefit designed to boost returns of the private sector investors
Changing healthcare landscape
Open innovation and collaboration increases probability of success
Deeper understanding of disease biology and new drug targets
No one company can work in isolation across all points in value chain
Closer interaction between academia, industry and government
Productive and capital efficient model to expedite innovation
Sharing or “No Rights” of intellectual property is increasingly common
Integrative approach to deliver “outcomes-based” medicines
Shift from pharmaceutical provider to healthcare solutions provider Innovation + integration will deliver superior therapeutic solutions
FutuRx is positioned to transform this challenge into an opportunity

The changing paradigm of healthcare systems
Increasing costs threaten healthcare systems
Scientific and technological breakthroughs augment healthcare sustainability:
Advancement in informatics, diagnostics & personalized medicine lead to more efficient data-driven decision making and novel
intervention models
Emphasis on prevention of chronic medical conditions
Profound change in the traditional doctor-patient relationship (e.g. task shifts, team work, continuity of care, tele-care)
Proliferation of new financial and operational models
More then ever before, the sustainability (quality, safety and costs) of healthcare systems depends on an
effective innovation environment
The healthcare system as a catalyst for innovation
Traditional Model –
linear innovation process (Research – Development - Market) –
Healthcare system as a receptor of innovation.
Alternative Model –
Healthcare system as a catalyst for innovation.
