{{Orphan|date=April 2016}}Asset-centricity is an approach to investing in the life sciences field with a focus on key assets, such as a pharmaceutical molecule that could form the basis for a novel new drug which has already been identified, rather than on discovering such assets through basic research & development.[1][2][3]

The asset-centric investing model is an attempt to streamline the drug discovery process, based on the widely held belief that it has become too expensive.[2][4] It de-couples life sciences assets from the infrastructure necessary to develop them, with the goal of improving returns on invested capital.[5]

A typical asset-centric startup company would have a single asset, or sometimes two, with a team of experts, including drug developers, shared across a back-end structure and across a variety of portfolio life sciences companies. These team members would coalesce for specific, focused drug-discovery projects[2] The bulk of funding would support the development of the primary asset, with the rest supporting a secondary asset and infrastructure.[1][5][6][7]

History

The asset-centric model of investing was developed by Index Ventures, a venture capital firm.[7][8]

Forms of the asset-centric model have subsequently been adopted by other life sciences investment firms such as Atlas Venture and Symphony Capital.[2]

Examples of Asset-Centric companies

Examples of life sciences companies built on the asset-centric investing model include:

  • Aegerion Pharmaceuticals ({{NASDAQ|AEGR}})[2]
  • Arteas Therapeutics (acquired by Eli Lilly)[9][10]
  • OncoEthix (acquired by Merck & Co.)[2]
  • Pangenetics (acquired by AbbVie)[2]
  • XO1 Limited (acquired by Janssen Pharmaceuticals)[11]
