Message from our Chairman, Cyrus K. Mirsaidi
Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Our vision for BioSelective, though respectful of Mr. Churchill’s warning, is to repeat all the good things we’ve learned through our experiences and investments, and continually accentuate those positives.
For us, that means focus in the fields where we have deep knowledge and a competitive edge, namely biopharma and diagnostics. Further, it means a deep and genuine regard for teams that make up our portfolio companies. There’s another saying that ‘fish stinks from the head’. We apply this to our investments in companies, with investments in her people (especially the CEO), first and foremost.
Finally, we only invest in projects, and with partners, where we are valued as an ‘operating’ partner, with a seat at the table, ready to roll up our sleeves to create value for our investments and investors.
Our investments have a track record for delivering sustainable revenue growth and maximized profits with careful attention to cost containment for Fortune 100 as well as young start-up companies.
We’ve motivated and led culturally diverse teams, and established well-defined/measurable goals to build interdisciplinary consensus to energize sales teams to meet critical milestones and revenue targets.
We have extensive and specific business development expertise interacting with major pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies, domestic and international distribution partners, with engagements, assessments, diligence and structured deals from small academic groups to large commercial organizations.
