This portion of the BiotechProfiles website is designed and optimized for the needs of CEO's, CFO's and business development executives in small to mid-size biotech companies in Madison WI. Our goal is to facilitate networking among peers in similar companies, and to provide data and information to facilitate the startup, management and growth of your biotech company. Access to this portion of the BiotechProfiles website is restricted to executives within the profiled companies - information shared here will not be made available to vendors, service providers, or other third parties. As an on-line resource, the information is available when you need it, wherever you are, at a cost effective rate, and it is our job to keep it up to date for you. Just hired a new member of your management team? This site will provide invaluable assistance in getting up to speed quickly. Our goal is not to do your job; it's to provide current background information and resources to help you and your colleagues accomplish your jobs quickly, efficiently, and effectively!
The site provides content in four categories, much of which is unavailable elsewhere or not provided in a user friendly format:
- In-depth local company profiles, including investment history, management contact information, founders, and members of corporate and scientific boards.
- Investor profiles, including which organized angel and VC funds have invested in the Madison biotech industry.
- Networking tools, including links to local user groups [an equipment exchange bulletin board and a peer-to-peer broadcast function are under development].
- Reference data and links, focused on helping executives with their strategic planning, partnering, and operational needs.
Networking works best when it's geographically focused. Entrepreneurs have limited time and budgets to spend on state-wide, regional and national activities. They want to contact others locally who can help with practical issues and concerns, whether that's finding insurance coverage, installing new financial software, or identifying prospective investors. As one of the premier emerging biotech clusters in the country, Madison already has substantial skill sets available in its pool of executives. The challenge has been to find a forum for networking that is efficient and effective.
Other databases and websites provide simple lists of links to companies. BiotechProfiles is the first to provide in-depth information, identifying the business sectors in which each company is active (e.g. pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical devices, reagents, and agribusiness), financing history, size, executive contact information, ownership status, and other factors so that one can perform custom searches to identify those companies that meet selection criteria of greatest relevance to you.
Unlike print directories and reports, all of our databases are continually updated throughout the year as new data become available, ensuring the most up-to-date content possible. If you have updates to propose to the existing database content, content you'd like to contribute to the site, or suggestions for new content, please forward this to
