Andrew Kay, President and CEO of Algeta
Abingworth set a highly professional tone from the beginning. The due diligence was detailed and incisive and this attention to detail continued as Algeta became one of their portfolio companies. It is Abingworth's support capability that really distinguishes them. This includes market analytics, finance, commercial intelligence, and search expertise for executive managers and board members. They have extensive networks with big companies, biotechs and banks that provides invaluable introductions and contacts. What is quite remarkable is that despite being one of many portfolio companies, everyone across the Abingworth organisation seems to know who you are and they are responsive and enthusiastic about thinking of ways to help, identifying opportunities, issues and solutions.
