Companion Products: Venture Finance and MedTRACK Japan  TOP

Love MedTRACK?  Why not add one of its companion products?

The Venture Finance Database provides in-depth coverage of over 10,750 Venture transactions as well as other details for almost 4,400 biomedical companies covered within MedTRACK. One of its features allows search-ability for the most up-to-date news regarding Venture Financings. Other pertinent search features include transaction categories, financing rounds, security types, and therapeutic areas.

Last year, MedTRACK added IPO Valuations to the Venture Finance database. The IPO tools records round-by-round financing information from company reported filings such as S-1, S-1/A, and 10-K. By clicking on the company name, subscribers are then able to view the company’s venture rounds, valuation data, and stock performance. Just in the last few months, an Advisor Index was added to the database. The new index gives subscribers the ability to search through a list of over 350 placement agents that are involved in venture transactions. The advisors specialize in identifying institutional investors that are willing and able to invest in a private equity fund or company issuing securities.

MedTRACK Japan is a comprehensive Web-based compendium of product, financial, and contact information for the Japanese pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. MedTRACK Japan has an easy to use, interactive format and is the premier English-language source of Japanese pharmaceutical and biotech industry information. Tracking over 370 companies, the database also covers information on over 4,750 products, 2,150 deals, and 3,850 management contacts.

Both the Venture Finance Database and MedTRACK Japan are offered as a stand-alone database for new subscribers or in addition to the MedTRACK Basic subscription.
