DBJ Premium Content: "With VCs quiet, nonprofit helps fund biotech startups"

Quoting from the July 8th Denver Business Journal:

"The Colorado Institute for Drug, Device and Diagnostic Development (CID4) is playing a role left vacant in biotech because of a lack of venture capital in the state these days.

CID4 is pushing to direct the attention of national biotech investors to discoveries from state researchers forming new companies — a role area VC firms used to play.

“We’re trying to replace the early-stage buzz that we’ve lost in the decline of venture capital and create our own buzz about innovation coming out of Colorado,” said Kevin Smith, president and CEO of CID4."
