Just some DD notes I've compiled on Ocera
OCERA THERAPEUTICS INC was Formerly: Renovia Inc
Founded by Pharma Entreprenuer: Laurent Fischer
04/05/12 Offered 3mil in securities for private funding. Sold 1.5mil of it.
02/13/08 Offered 35mil in Series C securities. Sold 31mil
06/22/06 Offered 8.6mil in Series B securities. Sold 8.6mil.
09/12/05 Offered 14.5mil in Series A securities. Sold 14.5mil. (Looks like intitial startup funding)
Main investors in Ocera are:
Thomas, McNerney & Partners
Domain Associates, LLC
Sofinnova Venture Partners VILP
Reed Smith LLP
InerWest Partners IX, LP
Agechem Venture Fund LP
Montagu Newhall Associates Global Partnets III LP
Noticable names:
Eckard Weber - basically every company he's chaired has been sold to the "big boys".
Runs Domain Associates, LLC. They bring pharma's to the market with an impressive track record.
Side notes:
SDNT Inc. does Ocera web hosting. Initial searching shows this company as "boiler room" company. This may require further investigation.
SDNT's website is non functional. {How are they hosting for Ocera?}
A person named Tim Lawton is the CEO of SDNT Inc.
There is also a Tim Lawton who is the AVP of Global Healthcare at Barclays as a registered investment banker. {coincidence?}
VENTIRX PHARMACEUTICALS INC was located in Suite 200 (Ocera is in Suite 230) on January 2010 where they offered 25mil in securities.
2 years later Ventrix is located in WA, amending their securites offering.
Domain Associates is also invested in VentiRx.
Domain Associates track record of IPO's they've initialized bodes well for the share price. Not perfect - but good signs.
