Abstract

This chapter discusses how a high-status pharmaceutical company’s business incubator generate positive effects for life science companies re-locating to the incubator. Life science companies in a development phase are frequently undercapitalized, i.e., they need raise new funds to finance the development work on several occasions. If being affiliated with a major market actor, life science companies may benefit from lower thresholds when raising venture capital as finance capital investors regard the inclusion in the incubator as indicative of the market potential of the company. The status of the company managing the incubator, including the selection of firms to include, signal to venture capital investors that these companies have qualities that make them attractive investment objects.
