Around here we like to take a little breather after distributing the quarterly Trend Analysis; response to the 2Q10 report has been very positive – many thanks – now it is time to get back after it, so expect to see the 3Q10 deals come barreling in starting next week. Now for informal poll time…With a bit of a recent observed jump in investment activity concurrent to a decidely more active public market (see IPO registration queue in 2Q10 Trend Analysis) we are curious to hear if you and your Company are either currently engaged in fund raising mode or plan to initiate your road show here in 2H10? (let us know at, email at arubenstein@rnaventures.com).

Here at OnBioVC, we place considerable emphasis upon the “wisdom of the crowd” and therefore would also like to know what type of data not currently featured that you would like to see populating OnBioVC.com and/or the quarterly Trend Analysis, please let us know (email at arubenstein@rnaventures.com).

Finally, our friends at Prescience International, Deloitte and UC Berkeley Haas School of Business are holding their very potent and very popular BioExec Institute again in October (it’ll be here before you know it!). The BioExec Institute is an internationally renowned executive program delivered by leaders in the industry to director and vice president level managers who are searching for the keys to managing business trade-offs within a highly regulated and competitive industry.
