Network Capital Innovation
Named for the corner of Astor Place and Broadway in New York City, a location reminding us of teamwork and collaboration at the center of the capital markets ecosystem supporting biotech companies.
The Problem
The explosion of company creation over the last several years has provided challenges for the buy and sell-side as well as service providers. No one has the capacity to service, sort, support and fund all these companies; the mechanisms created over the last 2 decades are failing in this current
paradigm.
Creating a new category to help biotech companies:
We are building a framework to expedite funding of quality companies with important drugs in development for patients with unmet needs.

WHY CHOOSE US
Purpose-Built Exclusive Network for Value Creation
astr partners is building an exclusive network purpose-built to support life science investors and their priority portfolio companies. Our strategic corporate development support, capital advisory and investor access support will address the needs of biotech companies in a collaborative way while ensuring their stories are in front of the top minds in the space.

REFERRAL NETWORK
astr partners is operating on a referral only basis through our network of specialist investors.
Collaboration
We will connect all parts of the capital markets ecosystem and leverage the value each component can bring: bankers, analysts, salespeople, traders, current investors, consultants, service providers, KOLs, board members and management.
Focus
Our focus is to ultimately create incremental buying in the stock at varying points in time based on milestone progression, helping efficiently expedite funding of quality companies.
astr partners believes that by being exclusive and curated—focusing on a small group of companies—we can effectively build a network of high-quality investors and address the capital needs of top biotech companies.
