This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
GeneSoft Inc., a company founded to commercialize technology for interfering with gene expression using compounds that bind to grooves on DNA sequences has a wide scope of potential applications before it, but it has chosen to position itself as an anti-infective specialty pharmaceuticals company. Its direction stems not merely from unpopularity of platform models, but because it believes it's learned the lessons of its in-licensing anti-infective forebears and can pursue the strategy with lower risk.
