To provide Business Development advisory, Competitive Landscape Analysis, Scientific Due Diligence, and Market Assessment for a number of projects

“Novateur team was able to help us address a number of critical commercial and regulatory issues facing one of our start-up companies working in the cell therapy and oncology field. Novateur delivered actionable recommendations that allowed us to deliver a clear and complete business plan to potential investors. On a separate mandate we utilized Novateur’s business development experts to advise us on partnerships.”

Quebec-based non-for-profit organization engages Novateur experts for business development and scientific due diligence advisory support

Since 2017, IRICoR has engaged Novateur’s team of experts for a number of mandates. Those included Business Development advisory, Competitive Landscape Analysis, Scientific Due Diligence, and Market Assessment for a number of its projects. Novateur continues to support IRICoR on a number of projects, including those being spun-off into new companies. 

One of these projects has been the Tumor Specific Neo-antigen technology developed by Dr. Claude Perreault and Dr. Pierre Thibault, both principal investigators at IRICoR. 

Novateur was engaged to support business development of this technology in 2018 and assisted in out-licensing efforts. In 2021, together with top tiered Canadian and British VCs, Epitopea was founded in 2021 and and a seed round of $14M was raised in 2022.
