Program
Valuing technology is a critical issue for companies, whether making investment decisons, raising capital, entering into licensing agreements or disposing of assets. Too often, valuation is poorly understood, which may result in less than optimun deals being transacted because companies are presented with take-it-or-leave-it propositions. Agreeing a fair valuation is a negotiated process, which requires company management to have a sound grasp of the concepts involved.

Ths MasterClass will provide a non-mathematical overview of valuation concepts applicable to biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device companies:

  
    Fundamentals: Net Present Value, Discounted Cash Flow, Capital Asset Pricing Model  
    Valuation under Uncertainty: Expected NPV, Monte Carlo Simulation, Real Options  
    Investor Expectations: Business Angels, Corporate Partners, Venture Capitalists  
  Participants in the MasterClass will work in teams to derive a valuation in a simulated case. The day concludes with a video of a VC and Corporate Finance adviser negotiating the value.  
         
  Who Should Participate  
    CEOs and FDs of early stage Health Care companies  
    Professional advisors  
    Licensing executives  
    Venture capital associates and business analysts  
    Technology transfer executives
