A GREENFIELD OPPORTUNITY
5Untapped Potential = Significant Opportunities
- 85% of U.S. Life Science/Healthcare companies are based outside of California and Massachusetts. (2021)
- Only 39% of Life Science Venture Capital Investment was invested in companies based in the other 48 states. (2018-2021)
- White Hat has developed the relationships needed to capitalize on a significant greenfield opportunity.
- White Hat was specifically designed to help our clients identify and support high quality life science opportunities in the U.S. and around the world.
Local, regional, and national networks of independent and organized Angel Investors combined with non-dilutive grants from foundations and agencies like the National Institutes of Health are the primary sources that fund early stage life science and healthcare companies.
As these companies grow and progress to later rounds of funding, the need and the opportunity increases.
White Hat provides support to investment funds and other organizations focused on the life science investment continuum from early stage to later stage investments.
Opportunity
Life Science Opportunities are driven by strong innovation ecosystems that exist across the United States and around the world. Research Universities and Institutions, World Class Healthcare Systems, and incubators are where the work starts.
Reach
White Hat has developed deep relationships with Biotechnology Associations and innovation clusters across the U.S. and globally. These organizations are at the center of each community's life science ecosystem.
Focus
It is estimated that healthcare spending will on average rise 5.5 percent annually from 2017 to 2026 and will comprise 19.7 percent of the U.S. economy in 2026, up from 17.9 percent in 2016. By 2026, health spending is projected to reach $5.7 trillion. (CMS).
