Introduction

PHARMASEAL is a software company that is disrupting how clinical trials are managed in its mission to bring new medicines to market faster. Engility® is a new cloud B2B platform, designed for the thousands of global SME companies developing new drugs and medical devices. Typically companies use multiple applications for managing clinical trials from one or more vendors. This increases cost and complexity. Engility® simplifies control by providing a single management platform allowing information to be centralised and accessed from a single platform. With Engility®, companies and suppliers can collaborate, improving the productivity of the supply chain and as a result, their clinical trials. SME companies are critical in developing new medical innovations. Engility® can transform the productivity of the SME sector through the digitisation of processes. Join us in reimagining how future clinical trials are managed.

Monetisation strategy

PHARMASEAL is a software B2B business selling to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and contract research organisations engaged in running clinical trials for the approval of new medicines and medical devices. The primary source of revenue is a SaaS software subscription license to use the Engility® platform. Typical contracts will be for a 3-year term license with annual payment in advance. Software subscription will typically generate 80% of the company revenue. Secondary sources of revenue are services associated with the software implementation such as training and implementation services and expected to comprise 20% of the company's revenue. The company has created two product capabilities - a base module Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) and an optional electronic trial master file (eTMF) module. The company determines the band of charge a customer will fall into based on its industry segment and number of active clinical trials that are run by the organisation

Use of proceeds

The funds raised will support 6-9 months of operational cash flow and support the first stage of commercialisation and disruptive product development. PHARMASEAL is targetting the USA/EU for the first cohort of B2B customer wins. Developing case studies from these initial sales will demonstrate value and accelerate marketing & sales. The utilisation of funds is split between the following activities:

- Commercialisation & Marketing: 31%

- Product Development: 49%

- IT Infrastructure: 13%

- Admin/Legal/Misc: 7%

Inside sales function driving lead generation will be expanded and focussed on US and EU territories respectively to attract early adopters.

Targeted Marketing supports digital advertising, trade publications, webinars and relevant conferences.

Product development is focussed on disruption by:

- Further developing the full capabilities of the 2nd product (electronic trial master file) recently added to the platform

- Enhancing general platform features (BI and Integrations)
