"Regeneron worked for 18 years to find a first partner."
How many years was it before their CEO ran away and hid from investors, failing to provide any public information? (Actually he's still there....been there since 1988.)
No more Regeneron stories, please. The one single point of comparison is a lack of success in the early years. Nothing else.
No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it! ....Groucho
