Pre-investment tips from Hak Salih
In general is important to de-risk the investment:
- Know your competitors
- Intellectual Property (IP)– do you own it/ do you licence it?
- What are return on investment timelines like?
- Ensure you are SEIS/ EIS eligible
- Fundraise as early as possible
In the healthcare space:
- Know the clinical pathway
- Have you addressed the 4Ps? Patient, Prescriber, Payer, Provider – have you evaluated each of their needs? Which will pay for it?
- Sell the problem you solve, not the product.
