Strategy: Trying To Think Ahead

Why is Strategy so Hard...?

…because there are no guarantees

...few important strategic issues are black and white

...only the test of time will separate the good from the bad

...luck plays an important part in determining outcome

Important Strategic Parameters to Focus on in Building an Entrepreneurial Company

• People

• Networks

• Business Model

• Deals

• Board of Directors

• Milestone setting and communication

• Build-Up and exits

• Financing

Page 10: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

10

People (I)

No successful business is run by a single person...

...no matter how it may appear from the outside.

Companies need teams of like-minded and similarly motivated

individuals with complimentary skills.

Page 11: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

11

People (II)

Others

• Hire the absolutely best people you can get (even abroad if necessary)

• Don’t shy away from people who may be better than yourself

• Try to attract people that are a little bit of a stretch in terms of profile and

reputation

• Try to hire people before you have a need for their expertise

Page 12: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

12

Networks

“It‘s not what you know...

... but who you know.“ (not quite true, but almost)

• Business is done between individuals not corporations

- Most important deals are driven in part by personal relationships

- Trust is the most important factor in business interactions

- Relationships mostly need to be established well before a business

transaction can occur

Page 13: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

13

Business Models

“The right model for the right times“

• Markets change and business models need to keep up• Business models need constant review and adjustment, but cannot be

changed overnight• It takes 1 – 2 years minimum to re-orientate even a small biotech

business

- Ideally through pro-active planning not re-active measures

Page 14: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

14

Deals

“Deals drive businesses and generate value“

• The first deal is never the best (do not get too greedy early on!)• You learn by doing deals• Doing deals early builds the networks you need for later bigger and more

important deals

Page 15: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

15

Board of Directors

“Don‘t cut off the hand that feeds you...“

• Pro-actively build and maintain the best possible relationship

• Build the trust that will allow the Board to take a hands-off approach,

leaving the executives to run the company

• Pamper your board members…

- usually you need them more than they need you

- or they control a major chunk of your shares (VCs etc.)

• Keep the Board informed at all times of important strategic issues

- don’t spring surprises, good or bad

Page 16: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

16

Milestone Setting and Communication

• Set realistic milestones that are really meaningful to the business

• Manage the expectations of all your stakeholders- Employees, Board of Directors, VC investors, public investors…

• Don’t gloss over the uncertainty of your milestones- Knowledgeable stakeholders will accept failures provided the

expectations were set appropriately- Your personal integrity will stay in tact, and this is what you need to

keep running the business

17

Build-Up and Exits (I)

“All investors require exits or else their business model fails“

• Pressure on the return on investment force ever more rapid build-up of businesses

• Exit opportunities from R&D programs drive exit opportunities for investors

- Tangible value from R&D is not generated until a viable exit opportunity is reached

• VCs and/or fund managers only invest in your company in order to make a return…alas, it is o.k. for them to sell at some point

Financing (I)

Sustainably profitable US biotech companies have one factor in common...

… they raised more than $500 Million before reaching profitability

• Raise as much money as possible and raise it not only when you need it

• Build relationships today with your investors of tomorrow

• Think carefully about which public market(s) to access

Phase 1 - Getting Started as a Technology Platform Company (1997)

Key Factors: Technologies & “Right” People

• Founded in late 1997 as spin-off from MPI of Molecular Genetics in Berlin

- Years of cutting-edge technology experience in high-throughput genomics & proteomics

• Key members of MPI department transfer to new company in Martinsried as founders

- All of them are still with GPC Biotech !

Phase 1 - Getting Started as a Technology Platform Company (1997)

Key Factors: Financials & “Right” Environment

• Selection of first-class VCs with international experience - Deep pockets and connections (MPM / TVM)- High-caliber Supervisory Board

• Support from Qiagen (one of Europe’s most established and successful Biotech companies)

• Biotech “Gold Rush” in Germany - New wave of entrepreneurial spirit

• Unique and instrumental financial support from government for biotech start-ups – close to € 10M in support in first years !

27

Phase 2 - Setting Long-Term Strategy for Sustainable Growth (1998/99)

• Intensive efforts to commercialize technology platform with Big Pharma- Generate cash and revenues for growth

• Drug discovery & development as final goal and ultimate upside potential - First drug discovery programs initiated in 1998

• Implementation of “dual business model”

Phase 3 - First Rewards of Strategy (1999)

• Technology alliances with ALTANA, Aventis Pharma, Bayer AG, Boehringer Ingelheim

• Successful second round of financing in 1999 (€ 22 Million)

• Despite corporate success, continued significant role of government funding for select drug discovery programs

- Drug discovery still very low profile and high risk in 1999

• Established first small foothold in U.S. pharma cluster

Phase 4 - Establishing a Transatlantic Public Biotech Company (2000)

• Acquisition of U.S. biotech company, Mitotix, Inc. (early 2000) in biotech cluster Boston/Cambridge

• Successful IPO on Frankfurt Stock Exchange (May 31, 2000): € 118.6M - Mitotix acquisition pre-requisite for “complete IPO story”

Pharmaceutical Industry is Increasingly Turning to Biotech to Fuel Growth

• More drugs developed by biotech than by pharma are being approved by the FDA

• Pharma’s increasing need for new products:

- Significant increase in the cost of in-licensing

- Increase in M&A value

Page 33: From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007 What comes next · 1 From start-up 1997 to NDA submission 2007. What comes next !?! Munich Network Technologietag 2007 27. Februar 2007

33

Phase 5 - Advancing into Clinical Development (2001)

• Pondering strategic options for “forward integration”

- M&A or internal organic expansion?

• Strategic decision to build internal infrastructure after attracting world-class head of drug development

• Princeton becoming headquarters for clinical development activities

• Strategic decision to focus on oncology
