Its business services facilitate investment for European companies from venture and corporate players to achieve their corporate and financial needs and international ambitions. This service aims to enable EU-based innovative life sciences companies to attract capital to develop, scale faster, and globalise at rates competitive with US and Asia. This service will leverage on partnerships and relationships developed by EIT Health and Invest Health and its unique European life science financial market knowledge. The service will provide customised investment readiness support to selected startups and SMEs including: a) Investment journey diagnosis; b) Investment readiness roadmap; c) Capital raise campaign support; d) Facilitating personal, vetted, and value-generating connections; e) Scouting for corporates and cross-European VCs; f) Promotion to relevant potential investors. This service is delivered through a set of enabling tools: Outlining of context/ scope/ objectives/ key success factors/ timelines of the project. The methodology is based on a tailor-made approach: Initial 360° analysis of the needs, enabling a fully adapted and personalized offer; Customizable provision of experts/partners to help EIC beneficiaries to be investor-ready by answering and monitoring their needs; Expert support for the contracting of deals and transactions. The service will be conducted online, but a hybrid format is also possible if needed
€3000 vetting fee paid upfront. If the EIC beneficiary’s vetting is successful, this will be followed by an hourly rate, varying from €125 to €500 depending on the innovation, healthcare sector, and beneficiary needs. The full price will be adapted to the tailor-made investment readiness service offer. Finally, a Lehman Formula-based success fee calculated on the capital stemming from new investors investing in the EIC beneficiary and thereby joining the cap table will be charged after the receipt of the capital by the EIC beneficiary. The fee model can be subject to further discussion, EIT Health may consider a model that voids the fee when reaching a certain threshold on success fees.
