Biopreneurs: The Molecular Millionaires

Book excerpt: Writing the book, Biopreneurs: The Molecular Millionaires we, Ryan Baidya and Miyuki Shiratani, have tried to cover the ordinary and extraordinary resources that readers can utilize to understand the biotech industry. While writing the book, we kept in mind those without biotech backgrounds. So, the book does not emphasize dry hard facts from life science subjects or financial figures from the stock market. It is rather a lucid situational analysis of the biotech industry. It strives to educate prospective investors in how and why to invest in start- up ventures, and early-stage companies. In addition, it also provides tools, knowledge, and expertise, identifying appropriate times to realize profits in a particular field. In a nutshell, we have earnestly tried to incorporate as much information as possible to make this book your best friend, philosopher and a guide for those people interested in biotechnology.
