Biotech pre-seed rounds typically range from $3M-$8M, significantly higher than other sectors due to R&D costs, specialized equipment, and longer development timelines. Most pre-seed funding supports target validation, lead optimization, and initial proof-of-concept studies.
Biotech has lower success rates than other sectors, with only ~12% of compounds reaching market. However, successful exits are often substantial ($100M+). Success requires strong scientific validation, experienced teams, and sufficient capital for long development cycles.
