At any recent life sciences gathering, there is a constant debate about the future of the venture capital model. Since 2000, the number of venture capital firms has halved and the amount of money available to VC firms to invest has also decreased significantly. For six Irish life sciences companies the 2013 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference provided an opportunity to grab the attention of potential investors, senior industry executives and key opinion leaders.
From a venture capital and business development perspective, the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco is arguably the most important event of the entire year for the health care sector.
In fact, the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference has had such a large impact on the life sciences community that a number of supplementary conferences aimed specifically at early stage technology companies now take place in conjunction with the main conference. While issues and trends in the US healthcare system, med tech and biopharma industries are discussed at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference – life sciences entrepreneurs such as Jerry O’Brien of Cork-based point-of-care diagnostic Radisens pitch their offerings and solutions to potential investors and partners at conferences like OneMedForum.
Genesis VMI – an Irish software company with an inventory management solution for the operating room environment – recognize that coming to the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference is not just about attending seminars. Managing Director of Genesis VMI, Noel O’Hanlon commented that “it is really about the opportunity to meet with potential healthcare investors and potential technology partners from around the world – all in San Francisco for one week”.
This year, with six Irish life sciences companies ascending on San Francisco for this increasingly popular event, Enterprise Ireland organized a reception with some key opinion leaders, investors and deal-makers. Among the attendees, were Tom Loarie (Chairman of Mercator and also a member of Enterprise Ireland’s Medical Device Advisory Council – a group of experts in the US medical device industry that have an interest in helping Irish medical device companies succeed in the US), Nola Masterson (Managing Director of Science Futures – a life sciences investment firm), Randall Lashinski (CEO of Claret Medical – a catheter medical device company that has worked with a number of Irish companies), John MacMahon (COO of Maya Medical – a medical device company owned by Covidien and currently working with a number of Irish companies), Laurence McGrath (Executive Director US Healthcare Analyst at JP Morgan) and Bruce Jenett (Co-Chair of the Global Life Sciences Sector of, DLA Piper).
Other Irish life sciences companies in attendance included point-of-care diagnostic company, Biosensia; medical device company, Neuravi; drug discovery company, Sigmoid Pharma; and novel platform technology company, TriMod Therapeutics.

George Moore, a US-based specialist in the field of data/precision analytics, has been announced as the technology Start-up Ambassador for the US, as part of its strategy to promote Ireland and to encourage overseas entrepreneurs to locate their start-up businesses in Ireland. This follows on from earlier appointments of Start-Up Ambassadors for key markets in the UK, China and Middle East, and for the life sciences sector in the US.
Mr Moore is a pioneer in the development of real time analytics and information technology for business applications, with many years experience in the region. He has particular expertise in the area of consumer scoring technologies for real time applications in the telecom, media, and retail industries. He will now bring this vast experience to working closely with Enterprise-Ireland to highlight Ireland and what it has to offer for technology start-ups.
This announcement marks the fifth international start-up ambassador appointed by Enterprise Ireland over the past year. It follows on the appointment of Dylan Collins for the UK market, Paul Kenny for the Middle East, Liam Casey for the Greater China Region, and Dr Art Rosenthal as Life Sciences Start-up Ambassador for the US.
The announcement follows on the launch late last year of a dedicated €10 million International Start-Up Fund to target investor ready overseas entrepreneurs to start their business inIreland. Administered by Enterprise Ireland, the fund is open to company promoters anywhere in the world, but is targeted particularly at the Irish Diaspora, international expatriates, the ‘New Diaspora’ (people from overseas who have previously worked or studied in Ireland), as well as serial and mobile entrepreneurs.
Lorcan O’Sullivan, Manager of Enterprise Ireland’s Overseas Entrepreneurship Department, said: ‘We are delighted to have a high profile figure such as George Moore as a US Ambassador for Enterprise Ireland’s international start-ups programme. George has not only experience of running large multinational operations, he has also extensive knowledge of start-ups as an investor. An increasing number of mobile international entrepreneurs are coming to Ireland as their location of choice to start a new business. The volume of enquiries is double that of last year and this is certainly encouraging for us. It is a tremendous boost to have a person of the calibre of George Moore, with his extensive experience and business networks and based locally in the US, who can support this programme and share his experience with other US entrepreneurs looking to start up in Ireland’.
George Moore added:
‘No one ever started a large company! All companies including such Fortune 500 companies as HP, Intel, Microsoft and Google were start-ups and all began as an idea with smart people, experienced advisors, luck, and access to capital. I look forward to working with Enterprise Ireland to drive entrepreneurial enterprises to Ireland’.

Looking at where VCs are putting their money is an easy way to identify sectors with perceived growth potential. The Affordable Care Act (known affectionately as “Obamacare”); a new additional 2.3% medical device tax; and continued uncertainty about the FDA approval process has led to big drop in VC funding dollars in the US life sciences industry in 2012. In fact, PwC have estimated that the medical device industry is down 30% in VC funding dollars and 22% in VC deals in Q2 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
Remarkably, it does not seem that these challenges have impacted digital health, connected health, health technology or whatever term you might prefer to use. At the Health 2.0 San Francisco Fall event, the digital health accelerator RockHealth declared that VC funding dollars had increased by 70% and that VC deals had increased by 84% in Q3 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
So it should not be surprising that when Governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick proclaimed that the third week in October would be known as “Innovation Week” in Boston that it was centered around two large health technology events.
The focus on the role of technology in healthcare began with a two-day event in the Massachusetts State House. The extensively named, “EU-US eHealth Marketplace & 2012 Transatlantic Health IT/eHealth Cooperation Assembly” was organised by the European Connected Health Alliance (ECH Alliance), the Northern Ireland Massachusetts Connection (NIMAC) and EU Commission. Essentially, the purpose of the event was to encourage the development of collaborations between the US and Europe in the area of connected health.
Among the attendees with a link to Enterprise Ireland were Irish companies SilverCloud Health and Cara Wellness whom exhibited and pitched their offerings at the assembly of 300 health tech executives, financiers, policy makers and health tech enthusiasts.
Headquartered in the National Digital Research Centre in Dublin, SilverCloud Health has a platform that allows healthcare providers and organisations to rapidly introduce health and wellness programs to their clients.
Through the collaboration of CASALA, ADA and Rigney Dolphin; CARAwellness has a technology that allows users gather information about their health from several technology sources so that they can keep an eye on their wellbeing and allow them share it with their carers. CARAwellness are able to do this through the use of medical technology, such as blood pressure cuffs, weight scales and sensors.
It was not just Irish health tech companies represented though – to promote eHealth Week 2013, Ciaran Cannon, T.D., Minister of State for Training and Skills concluded the two-day seminar with an invitation to all participants and their peers to come to the new convention centre in Dublin next May for the event – one of many conferences coinciding with Tourism Ireland’s “The Gathering 2013”.
Next up was the main event, the Connected Health Symposium 2012 presented by Partners HealthCare – the not-for-profit health care system that was founded by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The Connected Health Symposium prides itself on being the place where healthcare and technology collide – and they’ve been colliding annually for 9 years now in Boston. The discussions ranged from the policy driving “meaningful use” to discussions on how Americans are embracing solutions for health and wellness voluntarily – an estimated 60% of US adults are tracking their weight, diet or exercise routine voluntarily (albeit about half of these engaged Americans are what Susannah Fox of the Pew Internet & American Life Project described as “self trackers” – those who track their health using the popular “skinny jeans test”).
There’s a lot happening in health tech in the US at the moment and next year at eHealth Week 2013 in Dublin, Ireland Inc. will have its opportunity to showcase what the Irish health tech community can bring to the table.

Enterprise Ireland today (15th December 2010) welcomed the announcement that Polaris Venture Partners, a leading US venture capital firm, will open a Dogpatch Labs facility in Dublin. This will be the first such facility outside of the United States building on the successful Dogpatch Labs previously established in San Francisco, Cambridge (Massachusetts) and New York.
Dogpatch Labs are dynamic open plan spaces for entrepreneurs working on new business ideas. This facility will benefit Irish entrepreneurs and make Ireland an even more attractive place for mobile entrepreneurs to establish new start-ups.
Welcoming this development the CEO of Enterprise Ireland Mr Frank Ryan said: ‘This is a most welcome announcement under Innovation Fund Ireland, the Government initiative managed by the National Pension Reserve Fund (NPRF) and Enterprise Ireland to attract leading venture capital fund managers to Ireland. The Dogpatch Labs facility will be a significant addition to the Irish entrepreneurial eco-system and the further development of Ireland as a Global Innovation Hub. It is also very complimentary to a number of Enterprise Ireland initiatives and is consistent with enterprise policies outlined in the Report of the Innovation Task Force’.
The announcement of the new Dogpatch Labs facility follows on two other recent initiatives designed to support entrepreneurs and new business start ups in Ireland. Enterprise Ireland has launched the Internet and Games Competitive Start Fund to help internet and games start ups get off the ground and launch new products and services in the international marketplace. This competitive fund is focused on providing start ups with critical early stage funding to explore and determine the market fit of their business and progress to product launch. (more…)

Atlantic Bridge venture capital fund to help firms in Ireland and Europe get off the ground
The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, Batt O’Keeffe TD, today launched a new €85 million venture capital fund which will help high-tech firms in Ireland to get off the ground.
Venture capitalists provide risk capital for firms that would otherwise find it hard to raise collateral through traditional sources of finance.
The Atlantic Bridge II Fund, which is being supported under Enterprise Ireland’s Seed and Venture Capital Programme 2007-2012, will focus on high-tech firms across Ireland and Europe with strong international growth prospects.
It is expected that the fund will complete a second closing in the coming months, bringing the total fund to €130 million.
The fund will be managed by Atlantic Bridge Partners which has €250 million under investment.
The team is expected to invest between €5 million and €20 million in each firm with a typical investment cycle of five to eight years.
The fund’s backers are particularly interested in communications technology, semiconductor and software – sectors in which Atlantic Bridge already has a strong investment track record. (more…)
I was at a great seminar today put on by ANZA Technology Network. Here are my notes.
There are some nice takeaways for anyone from Australia or Ireland fund-raising and doing business in Silicon Valley
ANZA / Silicon Valley Bank Gateway to US Executive Summit – Nov 10 2010
Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, CA
Funding Your Business
- Deborah Magid, IBM
- Jeremy Liew, Lightspeed
- Shai Goldman, SVP
- Duncan Davidson, Bullpen Capital
- Larry Marshall, Southern Cross Venture Partners
- Need to be in Silicon Valley to raise funds here
- Need to be based in Silicon Valley as you will have monthly board meeting as an early stage companies
- Need funding first from a home country VC so that the company has been vetted by a local person before a Silicon Valley VC will make an investment
- Need a good cap table prior to an investment as you will likely do 3 rounds of investment before the IPO/exit
- Some VCs take a more global view and may invest outside of USA but they are rare.
- Must target the specific partner in the VC firm, not the VC firm itself – they must be in your space. Need a very targeted introduction into them from someone they know already.
- Takes 3 to 6 months to get funding from a VC from the first pitch for a fully baked investment proposal
- The Silicon Valley incubators for early stage clients are a great way to get VC exposure (y-combinator, Plug and Play, Dogpatch etc)
- Takes 3-12 months to socialize yourself in Silicon Valley before VC’s get comfortable with you
- VC’s can see up to 25 business plans a week up to 750 a year, take just a few meetings a week, make 1-2 investments a year
- Executive summary must have financials and metrics
- The purpose of the first VC meeting is to get the second meeting
- All personality driven – it is a dating game leading to a marriage (investment)
- Tackle many VC simultaneously at the same time, the best deals go to an auction process
- Need to be in Silicon Valley for 3 months and focused only on funding – not business development, not product development
- Talk to founders of the companies the VC has already invested in – do your own due diligence on the VC’s
- – We are at the cusp of a tech boom in consumer internet (4squared, twitter, etc) and social gaming (Zynga) – the last tech boom was also during a recession
- Need $200m + in turnover before you go public – just to pay for the SOX compliance costs
Super angles – want to get to VC auctions or go for a quick trade sale
Navigating the Legal and Taxation Minefield
- Viki Forrest, Anza Tach
- Kathy Woeber-Gardiner, Montgomery Pacific Law
- Kelly McCown, McCown & Evans
- Richard Horton, DLA Piper
- Sarah Nichols , Ogletree Deakins
- Need to be a Delaware corporation for VC funding
- Visa waiver is good for business travel on a short term basis
- need a non-USA business address on your business card
Lost of visa options – need a FDIN for some visas (be a USA tax resident corporation)
It is so easy to be sued here especially for sexual harassment termination where the average case settles for $100K and is it so easy to make the wrong remark
Cost about $4k to get all the corporate paperwork filed
A visa should cost $5 k for one visa – the government fees are $2.5K per visa
Afternoon Keynote
- Bardia Housman, Australian entrepreneur and founder of Business Catalyst (sold to Adobe) and Smart Corporation (sold to LookSmart)
Hard to hire good engineering staff in Silicon Valley as you are competing against Facebook, Zynga etc – same pay but better extras
Health Insurance – very different from back home
Meet as many people as you can
Sell, sell, sell – its all about sales, a big fan of trade shows
Need an intro to get to the VC’s
Discussion in Silicon Valley are about billion dollar ideas not million dollar ideas
Build the minimum possible differentiated product, launch it, then iterate upon it back based on customer feedback (Paul Graham)
Australian entrepreneurs are more risk adverse (sounds like Ireland…)
CEO Leadership – What Makes a Great CEO
- Chris Shipley, Guidewire Group
- Bill Lanfri, Hawkswatch Holdings
- Gary Swart, oDesk
- Jennifer Zanich, Myriad Group
Chris
– being a CEO is like a roller coaster ride, terrifying and trilling at the time then you get off and throw up, and go back and do it again…
Gary
- oDesk – hire and manage remote workers, VC backed
– need to stay focused, need to listen to customers
– need to know when to quit and not follow others blindly and drink too much of your own cool-aid
– people want to be able to make a contribution, to grow and develop
Bill
– Bill Lanfri – angel investor, chairman of many Sequoia backed companies, troubleshooter
– no need to have it all planned out, get going. be willing to learn as you go along, evolve, change, fast iterations,
Jennifer
- Myriad Group – very large mobile software firm
- People management is key – attract and keep the right people during the good and bad times
- Changed from b2b to b2c but had a clarity of vision
- CEO of a startup is very lonely – no peers at the company to learn from
- Fire people quickly when they do not work out
