Investor Relations
An emerging cardiovascular biotech was developing a next-generation vitamin K antagonist engineered to overcome the genetic variability and drug–drug interactions that limit warfarin and challenge the cost-effectiveness of DOACs. While the data were promising, investors viewed the space as mature, with limited differentiation potential. The communications challenge was to translate a complex PK/PD story into an investable narrative that demonstrated both scientific rigor and market relevance.

Situation
Approach
Our team recommended restructuring the core investor materials to emphasize the program’s mechanistic innovation — specifically, CYP2C9 independence and reduced interpatient variability. We created visual frameworks that mapped biochemical advantage to clinical reliability, reframed the indication strategy to highlight underserved patient subgroups, and supported the company in scientific Q&A preparation for investor and KOL meetings. The messaging bridged molecular detail with a compelling thesis around safety, predictability, and payer value.
To drive investor conviction, we recommended a communications strategy that anchored differentiation in peer-reviewed evidence and expert validation. This included aligning publication strategy, congress presence, and KOL advocacy around the clinical rationale for innovation in vitamin K antagonism—an area often perceived as fully mature.

Approach
Results
By reframing the science through an investor lens, the company was able to shift perception from “incremental anticoagulant” to “rational next-generation precision therapy.” The strengthened story underpinned a new round of investor outreach, leading to expanded institutional participation and successful bridge financing that advanced the program into Phase 3.
