Article Abstract:
Pennsylvania, Indiana and New Jersey launched the seed of venture funds to invest in local life science startups and these funds will help to fill the 'development gap' that is the lack of money available to transform ideas into new companies which could eventually attract venture capitalist (VC) money. The development gap is widening because VCs are raising more money to invest in the biotech industry.
