PART 1: CONTEXT ON INVESTOR ARCHETYPES

Before we begin, here's what each investor archetype cares about most:

Archetype 1: Friends & Family / Non-Industry Angels & Family Offices

Knowledge Level:

• General business fundamentals but limited biotech expertise
• May have read headlines about biotech/AI but don't understand drug development
• Don't know realistic timelines, biotech business models, or exit dynamics

What They Care About:

• Can I understand this in 2 minutes?
• Why is this problem important (human impact)?
• Why is now the right time?
• Can this founder execute?
• How do I get my money back (exit story with precedents)?
• Who else is investing (social proof)?

Common Mistakes Founders Make:

• Leading with technology/mechanism before establishing the problem
• Using jargon without definition
• Assuming they understand drug development timelines
• Not providing concrete exit examples

Archetype 2: Industry Angels & Sophisticated Family Offices

Knowledge Level:

• Former pharma executives, exited biotech founders, or dedicated life sciences investors
• Deep understanding of drug development, business models, and competitive landscape
• Know what "good" data looks like vs. hype

What They Care About:

• Is the technology truly defensible (IP, competitive moats)?
• Can this team execute operationally (not just scientifically)?
• What's the realistic value creation path (partnerships, exit timing)?
• Who's validating this (pharma interest, KOL advisors)?
• Is the founder coachable and strategic?

Common Mistakes Founders Make:

• Spending too much time educating them on basics they already know
• Not articulating clear competitive differentiation
• Lacking specifics on traction or pharma engagement
• Underestimating their network and ability to verify claims

Archetype 3: Generalist Early-Stage VCs

Knowledge Level:

• Understand venture mechanics and fund economics
• Familiar with tech/SaaS metrics but less deep in biotech
• Know biotech trends (AI/ML, CRISPR buzzwords) but lack technical depth
• Will rely on advisors for scientific due diligence

What They Care About:

• Does this fit our fund thesis (tech-enabled, capital-efficient)?
• Can this scale like a tech company (leverage, margins)?
• Is the market opportunity venture-scale ($1B+ outcome)?
• Who else is investing (syndicate quality)?
• Can we explain this to our LPs?
• What's the path to the next round?

Common Mistakes Founders Make:

• Using overly abstract or unrealistic TAM numbers
• Not bridging biotech and tech language
• Failing to show platform scalability or leverage
• Long timelines without near-term milestones

Archetype 4: Biotech-Focused VCs

Knowledge Level:

• Deep domain expertise (PhDs/MDs on staff)
• Know your space better than you do
• Have seen hundreds of platforms and programs
• Understand competitive landscape, regulatory paths, exit dynamics

What They Care About:

• Is the science truly differentiated (not just incrementally better)?
• Can this team execute at the highest level?
• What's the data quality (rigorous validation)?
• Is this fundable through next 2-3 rounds?
• Does this fit our portfolio (complement vs. compete with existing investments)?
• Can we build a $500M+ outcome?

Common Mistakes Founders Make:

• Overstating differentiation without rigorous proof
• Insufficient data quality or controls </aside>
