BJC Capital Advisors

The evolution of the biopharmaceutical industry has witnessed the disaggregation of the industry value chain.  Today, emerging companies in the sector may be best characterized as an outsourced R&D function for the large pharmaceutical companies, who leverage their established regulatory and commercialization engines to optimize externally sourced innovation. In such a scenario, the intrinsic value of infrastructure, both physical and intellectual, is often minimized and may arguably be considered detracting.  BJC Capital Advisors, a FINRA registered broker/dealer, was established to complement these sector trends with professional services designed to enhance capital efficiency and value realization.
