What People Are Saying
Dan Mitchell -- Partner, Sequel Venture Partners
"I have worked with FBBp for a couple of years now, and they provide a very valuable service for the start-up community in Colorado. Local and national venture funds are always interested in seeing prospective investment opportunities as mature as possible. FBBp moves its client companies is this direction, making them more “investment ready”, which will contribute to the inflow of capital to our local life science industry."
Larry Blankenship -- CEO, ValveXchange, Inc.
"Starting a young company is always a very hard road. These days of economic tumult have multiplied that difficulty many fold. The edge, the key difference in moving forward is the real help you get from your partners. Fitzsimmons BioBusiness Partners are exactly that. Dr. Michael Artinger and the FBBp team have helped ValveXchange every step of the way. They have challenged our assumptions, helped with our business planning, critiqued our presentations, and are now introducing us to qualified investors. I can’t say enough about the support we’ve been given. We’re very glad to be an FBBp company!"
David Allen -- Associate Vice President, Technology Transfer Office, University of Colorado
“FBBp provides high quality resources for early-stage biotech and biomedical companies and technologies in Colorado. The University of Colorado’s Technology Transfer Office works in a highly coordinated manner with FBBp to facilitate the transition of University research inventions into viable, commercial opportunities through company formation, strategy development, deal sourcing and other essential capabilities.”
Fred Mitchell -- CEO, Beacon Biotechnology
"FBBp has been and continues to be a key part of the business strategy for Beacon Biotechnology’s success. From access to brick and mortar resources to key business contacts and expert internal consulting and guidance, FBBp has been invaluable. I highly recommend anyone considering a biotech business in Colorado speak with FBBp first."
Mark Lupa -- Partner, High Country Venture
"FBBp is one of the few resources in Colorado for early stage bio businesses to get the help, advice and connections that all seedling companies need to develop into a growing enterprise. This is the first place that I send fledgling companies that are not quite ready for institutional funding, and with Michael Artinger’s help, they either fine tune their business plan and end up with financial partners, or they fail for any of the reasons that businesses are not meant to succeed. In either case, the involvement of FBBp is invaluable to the Colorado Bioscience community."
