"At Acuity Pharmaceuticals we faced many challenges back in 2003. Five years later, we can view our scientific and financial successes with the benefit of hindsight to seek the contributing factors to that success. BioAdvance was one of the first companies we presented our company to. We received quick feedback and then were involved in a thorough diligence process which gave us more input and encouragement. At that early juncture, BioAdvance decided to invest, yet it was far more than money that made the difference. The BioAdvance team provided contacts and an effective sounding board for our development during those formative years."
