Transaction Categories

Our name – “Apeiron” – is derived from the Greek word for infinity. This concept goes to the heart of our client mission: to enable unlimited value through the creative structuring of financial and strategic transactions.

Innovative transaction strategies are more critical than ever in maximizing corporate value in the life sciences. Apeiron creates value and reduces risk by fitting the right transaction strategy to the particular business situation at hand. We have extensive experience in the transaction categories listed below. This experience guides us in choosing the right approach for our clients and their needs.

Corporate Spin Outs

Apeiron is the only firm dedicated to the design and execution of corporate spin-outs in the life science space on behalf of parent companies. Apeiron provides the parent company with a fully outsourced solution to the spin-out strategy and implementation process. By doing so, it conserves and focuses parent resources and maximizes the economic and strategic position of the parent in the structure. A key component is the organization of a highly-optimized syndicate of value-added investors and partners for the spin-out.

NewCo Incubations

The Apeiron team has vast experience in all aspects of starting and managing an entrepreneurial company in the life sciences. Apeiron develops and integrates corporate, R&D, organizational and financial strategies to ensure the NewCo maximizes both financial and strategic return on capital deployed. We also have deep experience in recruiting senior management, key board members and advisors that are critical to the growth of the company.

Private Placements

Apeiron assists clients in developing and communicating a differentiated value proposition to the financial community. This frequently involves refining the client’s corporate and R & D strategy, identifying and recruiting board members, managers or advisors, or other pre-financing activities as needed. In parallel, and together with the client, Apeiron then designs and implements an optimal financing strategy that will enable maximum value creation of the client company.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Apeiron’s core M&A focus is identifying and leveraging disparities amongst the life science communities of Europe, North America, Japan, and the emerging markets. By creating and implementing M & A strategies leveraging these disparities, we maximize value.

Strategic Alliances

Apeiron utilizes a systematic and creative approach towards structuring strategic alliances. First, leveraging our relationship network and understanding of the markets involved, we identify potentially synergistic partners for our client Second, we then use both qualitative and quantitative methods to determine the value of the alliance from our client’s and the prospective partner’s perspective. Finally, we design the alliance and its management structure that maximizes chances of success. Utilizing this approach, we shorten the time to achieve a mutually acceptable deal, create a “win-win” environment, and facilitate the successful implementation of the alliances structured.
