Presentations Preview:
Alfama Project and Technologic
Based Companies Development
Alfama is a pharmaceutical
start-up company focusing on the development of
small-molecule anti-inflammatory drugs. Alfama's novel, proprietary
therapeutic approach holds the promise of producing a major impact
in the
combat against diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, myocardial
infarction, psoriasis and atherosclerosis. Alfama has recently
raised its
first round of venture capital funding - the largest ever for a
biotech
start-up in Portugal - and has since re-organized itself by
establishing a
holding company in Cambridge, USA, and by gathering a multinational
team of
talented scientists and managers.
Nuno Arantes Oliveira

Alfama

When? How? This presentation will analyse BioTrend evolution from
the project to the recent venture capital investment.

Sommer

The following
projects were successfull in the previous Elevator Pitch editions:
€485.000, Start-Up
“It
is very hard to raise less then €500.000 in the Venture Capital
market, reason why we are greatfull to Gesventure for supporting
us in raising the amount we were in need to grow up. Gesventure
also allowed us to access valuable channels that resulted in new
international clients.”
Bernardo da Fonseca, CEO of Sattelite Newspapers
€480.000, Seed Capital
"To conceive the Localizer project, with the mission of
allowing citizens to use localization and mobility systems, I had
a necessity to select an investor suitable with our ambitions. The
choice of Gesventure, company with a profound knowledge on
entrepreneurship and negotiations with investors, allowed me to
obtain the necessary funds in a short term to the implementation
of the project. My recognition and my felicitations to
Gesventure’s team in the success of the selection of a real
partner with surplus value in the development of Localizer project."
Raul Mota, CEO of Localiser – Mobility Sistems
€175.000, Seed Capital
“Gesventure’s
support - to who we are very thankful - in the conception phase of
our industrial process, was crucial to give us the necessary
orientation and take the right steps in a perfect timing, allowing
us to be thrilled and motivated to proceed with the development of
our project."
Filipe Aguiar, founder of Glucoprime
Project
€365.000, Seed Capital
“Raise
€350.000 to a project in a start-up phase is, in Portugal, a real
challenge. Gesventure knew how – with its profound knowledge about
“who is who” in the Portuguese venture capital sector – to gather
the best strategic, finance and legal conditions to the first
financing round.”
Michel Amorin, CEO of BYSAT
