Investment Process

Our Investment Process

TLS has a structured process to review potential transactions that saves time for both us and for entrepreneurs. This process includes:

Concept Screening

Concept Screening allows us to quickly assess investment opportunities. Entrepreneurs seeking capital must first complete and submit the TLS Investment Summary PDF file. Please download, complete this document and email it to info@tlspartnersrx.com. In the subject line please put the name of your company (i.e.., “ACME Pharma, Inc). We will advise you if your application meets our investment criteria within four weeks after we have received it and will outline the next step in our assessment process.

Opportunity Assessment

Opportunity Assessment occurs after concept screening and includes a one-hour meeting with the sponsor and TLS members for an in-depth discussion of key issues that may affect the success of a potential collaboration.  TLS members then determine if a sponsor’s proposal should move to Due Diligence. At this point, sponsors are invited to submit a detailed business plan.

Due Diligence

 Due Diligence occurs within two weeks after the successful completion of Opportunity Assessment and the submission of a detailed business plan. This includes verification of statements in the business plan including financial projections, calls with customers and vendors, and discussion of opportunity valuation to ensure both parties can quickly reach a workable agreement.

Term Sheet Negotiation

 Term Sheet Negotiation occurs once the Due Diligence process is complete. Interested TLS members will either present a term sheet that defines the structure of a proposed investment or will respond to the term sheet provided by the lead investor or the sponsor.

In time sensitive situations, TLS has an expedited review/funding process.
