Pharmaceutical Companies: Challenges in Developing New Therapeutic Products
Stanford / Entrepreneurship
Ringold talks about how the pharmaceutical industry is built on failure and inefficiency and has a small success rate. This recognition led to Surromed.

This can only change with a change in the processes it uses. New biotech companies are starving for funding and cash, he notes.
