Strategic Clinical Events Data for Investment Opportunities

The Challenge with Traditional Data Platforms

In many consulting projects, having historical data on the latest market trends is critical. This type of insight helps consultants have the bigger picture to identify relevant deals and inform their clients of potential opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

Traditionally, this data can be sourced from data platforms like PitchBook, Crunchbase, or DealForma. However, these platforms come with a few significant drawbacks:

  1. High subscription fees – often too expensive for a single consulting engagement
  2. Manual effort required – consultants still need to sift through and extract relevant information
  3. Incomplete data – in many cases, they simply don't have the specific data needed

Note: This case study is a continuation of the previous "Lead Generation for Consulting Projects" case study.

Case Scenario

Let's assume: "You're a biopharma consultant recently hired to identify potential investment opportunities among companies developing obesity drugs that have recently entered Phase 2 trials."

Here's how you can use PharmaScout to gather the data efficiently:

1

Search Smartly

Use PharmaScout to run a search for:

"Obesity Studies with Peptide/Protein MOA that have recently entered Phase 2"

Opt for manual search to have more flexibility and refinement of results.

In the second step of PharmaScout, click "Add Column" to include the specific information you need, such as:

  • Mechanism of Action (MOA)
  • Route of Administration (ROA)
  • Modality
  • Name of the sponsoring company
