However the previous year or so has become unusually quiet at the biotech startup incubator. Accelerator not too long ago endured a six-month dry spell when it didn’t see any exciting new investment ideas enter its pipeline, according to CEO Carl Weissman.
“We can survive these kind of occasions easily, because what the board seriously expects is that the quality [of investments] never goes down,” Weissman said when I stopped by his office on Seattle’s Eastlake Avenue last week. “We don’t need to lower our standards on quality in order to satisfy a quota.”
For those who aren’t familiar, Accelerator is among the many central players from the local life sciences innovation scene. Biotech pioneer Leroy Hood, along with a number of prominent venture firms, founded Accelerator in 2003 to provide some lab space and operational support for scientific entrepreneurs with potentially groundbreaking ideas that might need a little extra proof before they can secure serious venture dollars. Accelerator has raised a total of $43.8 million, some of which it has put to work in 10 startups so far. The roster includes four Seattle companies that have emerged and raised a combined $144 million since graduating—VLST, Theraclone Sciences, Allozyne,Microsoft Office 2007 Cd Clé, and Integrated Diagnostics.
That last company, known as InDi for short, is the most recent startup with roots at Accelerator to score venture bucks. It was known as Homestead Clinical in a former incarnation, and it didn’t win follow-on financing from Accelerator’s primary VC backers, but it emerged in October anyway with a $30 million commitment from outside VCs largely because of Hood’s “force of will,” Weissman says. OK, so InDi may very well be another notch while in the Accelerator belt. But I wondered about the other three startups that were founded at Accelerator from the previous two years—PharmSelex (formerly known as GPC-Rx) in June 2008, Mirina in August 2008, and Xori in Might possibly of 2009. All three are still operating, and Weissman wouldn’t say much about their future prospects other than, “We’re actually pleased with all the progress from two out of the three.”
So we’ll really have to sit tight a whereas longer to see whether any of those three emerge,office 2010 pro activation, or fade away. What was more surprising to me is what he said about the slowdown while in the flow of new ideas for companies. From about June due to December, “there wasn’t much,” during the way of exciting new scientific ideas coming in to Accelerator,microsoft office 2010 Standard, Weissman says, even though it has historically been inundated with pitches. That improved a bit last month, when Accelerator found three new ideas that it considered “very exciting,” Weissman says.
The feast-and-famine cycle at Accelerator “is to be expected,” he says, and that is why the organization doesn’t have a hard quota …Next Page » Luke Timmerman is the National Biotech Editor of Xconomy,Microsoft Office Professionnel 2007, and the Editor of Xconomy Seattle.
