Raising financing through strategic timing   pp93 - 98
Elicia Maine and V. J. Thomas
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.1
Strategic timing can be key for nano-drug-delivery ventures to get financing. Timely publications engage potential partners; early broad, blocking, relevant patents demonstrate the potential to appropriate value; and venture formation closer to clinical viability better aligns its timeline with that of venture capitalists.
