Last call for Fierce 15 submissions

John Carroll, FierceBiotech Editor-in-ChiefOn June 24th we'll be running our seventh annual Fierce 15, a look at some of the fastest private companies in drug development. I'm in the final phase of identifying all 15 of these biotechs. So if you know of a developer with smart technology, an experienced and savvy management team with bright prospects, and the money on hand to reach the next level, drop me a note. All I'm looking for is a name and a brief description of why you believe they should be on the list. I'll do the background check.

The Fierce 15 is our oldest annual report and my personal favorite.

This industry has always attracted people with a passion for what they do, and it's a great chance to recognize companies that are on a quest. Some never realize their ambitions, crashing and burning along the way. But I'm always intrigued to see how many of these Fierce companies go on to remarkable achievements. Even in the midst of one of the most savage downturns in biotech's history, a small, well run developer with the right science can build a company of considerable value. The Fierce 15 offers a look at some of the emerging drug developers on track to success. Click here to see the list of last year's winners.
