Abstract:
Several notable venture capital investments have been made in the last twelve months in early stage companies developing nanoparticle therapeutics. Examples include BIND Biosciences, Ensysce Biosciences, Carigent Therapeutics, NanoMed Pharmaceuticals, and Tempo Pharmaceuticals. In this article, corporate attorney Mark J.

He also describes typical conditions of investment in these types of early stage companies, including board control, operating conditions, and preferred stock rights.
