The Solid Tumors Market Is Expected To Be Worth $901.27 Billion By 2029, And Oncotelic Therapeutics (OTCQB:OTLC) Is Leading The Charge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Solid tumors are abnormal clumps of cells that form in various tissues or organs of the body. Unlike liquid or cystic tumors, solid tumors do not contain any liquid components. They can occur in bones, muscles and organs, and can be either benign or malignant. Solid tumors can arise from different types of cells, such as epithelial cells that line the outer surface of the skin and the covering and lining of organs and internal passageways. Solid tumors are generally considered more aggressive and difficult to treat compared to other types of tumors. This is because they have a tendency to grow, invade nearby tissues, and metastasize to other parts of the body. The characteristics that make solid tumors more challenging to treat include their ability to resist traditional cancer treatments — such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy — and their complex genetic makeup, which can vary from patient to patient. Additionally, the location of solid tumors within the body can also contribute to treatment difficulties, as certain areas may be more difficult to access or treat effectively. In order to improve treatment outcomes for solid tumors, researchers and medical professionals are continuously exploring new therapeutic approaches and personalized treatments tailored to the specific characteristics of each tumor. By gaining a better understanding of the underlying biology and genetic abnormalities of individual solid tumors, targeted therapies can be developed to selectively attack cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative treatments for cancer, with a particular emphasis on solid tumors. The primary product being developed by Oncotelic, through its joint venture is OT-101, also known as Trabedersen. OT-101 is a novel antisense oligodeoxynucleotide designed to target transforming growth factor beta 2 (“TGF-β2”) overexpression in various malignancies, including pancreatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma, colorectal carcinoma and high-grade glioma. Oncotelic aims to address the aggressive nature of solid tumors and their resistance to conventional treatments. In April 2022, Oncotelic’s joint venture (JV) with Dragon Overseas Capital Limited, an affiliate of Golden Mountain Partners, LLC. The JV initial focus is on the development and commercialization of OT-101, the transformative cancer drug that Oncotelic licensed to the JV for a 45% ownership. Dragon Overseas invested cash of $27.6 million for a 55% ownership of the JV. The JV is planned to be headquartered in Hong Kong. Oncotelic could potentially receive up to $50 million following the sale of the RPD voucher once OT-101 has received marketing approval for diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas. The JV is expected to launch an initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2024, and CEO Dr. Vuong Trieu has said he expects the IPO to be highly successful. “I am excited to announce that, together with our partner Dragon Overseas, we have formed a JV for the discovery, development, and commercialization of TGF-β therapeutics against all pharmaceutical indications,” said Dr. Vuong Trieu, CEO and Chairman of Oncotelic. “This JV unburdens the Company of the high cost of drug development, which the JV will be responsible for, while the Company will participate in its upside through appreciation in the value of its shares in the JV.” The solid tumors market was valued at $209.61 billion in 2021, and it's expected to reach $901.27 billion by 2029. Oncotelic's focus on developing therapies specifically for solid tumors puts them in a very strong position to be a leader in a growing market. The company's research and development efforts in this area demonstrate its commitment to bringing fresh energy and potential breakthroughs into the treatment of solid tumors, offering new possibilities for patients.

Growth Stage Funding Is the New Series A Says Liquidity Group Exec

Benzinga

In the backdrop of dwindling venture capital (VC) funds and economic volatility, firms are re-evaluating equity and debt financing strategies. "We've seen companies bypassing the usual Series A, B, C approach. Instead, they're embracing what's now termed as 'growth stage funding'," notes Yaron Primovich, head of credit solutions at Liquidity Group. Most growth-stage funding comes in the form of non-dilutive investment - an investment that focuses on revenue and success rather than risk. The Anatomy Of Growth Stage Funding Growth stage funding is often the step after seed funding. Here, companies that have ticked off milestones, like significant revenue streams and achieving product-market fit, are looking to expand. Unlike in earlier stages, where firms might rely on equity, now they often opt for debt sourced from banks or similar institutions. Such financing gives businesses the ability to ramp up their operations. The idea, as one CEO puts it, is to "throw gasoline on the fire." These firms, already having shown promise, are now on a less risky pedestal for investors. This isn't to say that this is the last funding bout for firms. Some will continue to look for equity rounds post this phase. But it's observed that many are marching directly to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) after a successful growth-stage round. The Significance Of Long-term Financial Stability For startups seeking growth-stage funding, a sturdy financial backbone is pivotal. In many instances, lenders demand detailed financial documentation – a rigorous process that some CEOs might find overwhelming. But this scrutiny often streamlines operations, prepping them for further growth. "Establishing financial stability to a non-dilutive lender is gold for future investments. It indicates the company's capability to generate steady returns and manage its debts," said Primovich. The role of working capital is also paramount. It ensures the business keeps running smoothly, fulfilling its daily operational needs. This is especially true in sectors like artificial intelligence and biotech, where there's immense potential for growth, which makes managing finances prudently indispensable. Challenges And Navigation Acquiring growth-stage funding, even with a proven market presence, can be an uphill task. Attracting the right investors who see the vision and potential of the company becomes crucial. Building a robust relationship with potential stakeholders and exuding credibility are fundamental. As companies morph from startup to growth stage, their financial appetite surges. However, affordable capital is key. A company's financial health, its growth trajectory, and prevailing market conditions can swing the cost pendulum. Building a compelling business case and forging strong ties with potential investors often fetches favorable financing terms. Consistent revenue streams bolster a company's growth potential. Startups that can show they're on this path have a better shot at securing additional rounds of funding. Startups need to be cognizant of the current regulatory framework around non-dilutive capital. Non-compliance can be costly, causing delays or even sinking potential investments. This means being alert to securities laws, tax obligations, and more. Expert legal advice often becomes essential. Finding The Right Growth-Stage Partners Aligning with the right investors during the growth stage is a linchpin for success. They're not just financial backers but also mentors and guides. Depending on the need, businesses can look at various potential investors. “Finding a great growth-stage partner is as important as finding the right equity investor,” said Primovich. “Luckily, most non-dilutive funders take hours - not months - to make a decision so the opportunities are promising.” With innovation at its peak and a surge in growth-stage funding, there's a vast potential for industry disruption. For investors and tech companies alike, the future is luminous. This post contains sponsored content. This content is for informational purposes only and not intended to be investing advice.

Wallabing Is The Airbnb Of RVs Without The High Fees – And It’s Already Raised Over $55,000 On Wefunder

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Learn more about Wallabing’s current crowdfunding raise and how to invest here Wallabing is a peer-to-peer RV rental platform where owners make more, and renters pay less. That’s the company motto and the overarching goal of the startup who is entering the $820 million RV rental market. As its platform continues to grow, it’s launched a Wefunder campaign to raise additional capital while giving investors a chance to be part of that growth. Wallabing Offers Low-Cost RV Travel To Renters And Lets Owners Turn Unused RVs Into Passive Income The average RV owner spends between 28 and 35 days each year using their RV. That means their RV is sitting unused for over 330 days out of the year. Meanwhile, 44% of people who go RVing don’t own their own RV. They prefer to rent – often because it’s too expensive to justify buying a big-ticket asset that they will only use roughly one month out of the year. That’s where Wallabing comes in. As the Airbnb of RVs, it gives owners a way to earn extra cash on their unused RV during those 330 or so days each year that they aren’t using it. And for renters, it’s a safe, low-cost way to find the perfect RV for their next trip. For renters, the platform provides a low-cost way to get on the road and explore the outdoors without the high cost of RV ownership. Wallabing also adds 24/7 roadside assistance, mobile check-in/checkout, and comprehensive insurance. For owners, it’s free to list on Wallabing and free to rent out their RVs. All renters go through a driving record check and are required to have Wallabing’s insurance that will cover the RV. Making the platform fee-free for owners is great for those renting out their RVs and lowers the barrier of listing the RV in the first place. That could give Wallabing a competitive edge when scaling the number of listings on the site. “I found that most of the companies, if not all, would charge an owner to list their RV, whether it was 3% up to 25%,” said Wallabing CEO Jason Carlson in a recent interview on RV Out West. Owners who would otherwise be interested in renting out their RV might be less willing to risk paying a listing fee or might decide their take-home profit after the platform’s cut just isn’t worth it. Its low-fee model could also give it an advantage in attracting renters. Those same platforms that charge fees to owners tend to double down by charging fees to the renters, too. But renters on Wallabing pay just one 10% fee that’s charged on the nightly rate only–not on any cleaning fees or additional equipment they might be renting along with the RV. To make those low fees possible, Wallabing focuses on making its service as cost-efficient as possible. “I looked everywhere we could trim things,” said Carlson. That included carefully choosing a great insurance partner and roadside assistance service. That model is already starting to pay off. In the first half of 2023, the platform has increased its listings by 25% and added thousands to its user base. Since June 15th alone, it gained over 30,000 new users. On the capital raising side, Wallabing also made headway. After raising over $1 million in an initial family and friends funding round, it’s already added over $55,000 more from investors through its Wefunder campaign. Looking ahead, Wallabing plans to grow its inventory to 150,000 RVs within the next five years. Click here to learn more about Wallabing’s mission to revolutionize RV rentals and how to invest.
