In the fall of 1980, Genentech, Inc., a little-known California genetic engineering company, became the overnight darling of Wall Street, raising over $38 million in its initial public stock offering. Lacking marketed products or substantial profit, the firm nonetheless saw its share price escalate from $35 to $89 in the first few minutes of trading. Coming at a time of economic recession and declining technological competitiveness in the United States, the event ignited a period of speculative frenzy over biotechnology.

Ali Tamaseb has spent thousands of hours manually amassing what may be the largest dataset ever collected on start-ups, comparing billion-dollar start-ups with those that failed to become one - 30,000 data points on nearly every factor: number of competitors, market size, the founder’s age, his or her university’s ranking, quality of investors, fundraising time, and many, many more. And what he found looked far different than expected.

Irrespective of how anyone describes it, the data trend is becoming increasingly real, increasingly prevalent, and far more significant. Collating and gathering data is one thing while processing it is an entirely separate issue. If you are hoping to derive reasonable insights from the data generated, you must understand the data you are gathering, the approaches that are required, and the appropriate techniques to use when analyzing this data. How exactly can all this be achieved - well, this is exactly where this audiobook comes in.

Very clear and informative review of drug development
The book does exactly what it sets out to do - it provides a clear, concise and very useful overview of the drug development process, from initial discovery to clinical trials and beyond. It is a great resource both for those who would like to refresh existing knowledge, and those new to the industry who need a good place to start their learning. It flows really well and covers all the important aspects of drug development. Very recommended!

Excellent. has added education in to my commute.
Really impressed how well a potentially complex subject matter translates to an easy-to-follow audiobook. The information provided is an excellent aid in setting out what to expect and what challenges crop up in the life of a research scientist. Having such technical and detailed books available as audio has made my commutes far more productive!

Clear and concise overview
This audiobook provides a clear and succinct overview of the drug development process and is strongly recommended listening for anyone interested in getting into drug development. All stages of drug development for both small and large molecule drugs are covered and the potential pitfalls and requirements at each point are clearly defined.
The length of this audiobook is a key selling point; at less than 2 hours it can be absorbed in one sitting.
If I’d had access to this book when I started in drug development it would have saved me a lot of head-scratching

Very well written (and performed) audiobook that gives the reader/listener a great introduction and overview to the drug development process.
I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to gain some extra knowledge into the subject. Whatever your level of experience within the industry.
Basically, what's not to like! It's concise, informative, easy to follow and well performed. All in under 2 hours.
