It takes immense effort for medical device and pharmaceutical products to get through development and into the marketplace to begin improving lives. In this highly regulated industry, life sciences companies must overcome a variety of challenges. Early development stage companies face a long and capital intensive process of getting their devices and/or drugs approved, many times investing billions in sophisticated private investor capital for research and development before a device or drug is even available on the market. The level of financial reporting needs to match the level of sophistication of the funding source. Mature companies must live by exacting standards to protect the public they serve.
