From Grant to Growth: Pharma Startup Unlocks $12M with Forecast-Ready Financials
How a Pharma Startup Secured $12M with Forecast-Ready Financials
This early-stage pharmaceutical startup had the science and vision — but without revenue or reliable financial reporting, investor confidence was shaky. High churn, poor ARR forecasting, and weak board communication left funding prospects on the line.
