Date:11/12/2008

ding co-founding eight medical device start-ups and directing the exits of four companies with a combined value well in excess of $1 billion.

According to partner, Chris Christoffersen, "The truly game-changing opportunities we see tend to be early stage. OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, for example, offers so much potential as a new approach to cancer treatment that it has attracted a $1.4 billion deal from GlaxoSmithKline, which we think is the largest pre-clinical biotech licensing deal to date."
