Skin Oncology Firm MedC Biopharma Launches Private Placement Offering on DealSquare
Clinical-stage company is focused on innovation in skin health worldwide
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$MEDCB #dealmaker—MedC Biopharma Corporation (“MedC”), a science-driven company that develops, produces and delivers innovative skin oncology medication worldwide, has announced the launch of its $3 million private placement offering using the DealSquare platform, powered by NEO and DealMaker technology.
A clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, MedC ($MEDCB) develops and commercializes cannabinoid and other natural compound-containing products for use in the consumer, veterinary, medical skin, and general health markets. The company has already developed two drugs toward clinical trials for CTCL – Skin (Cutaneous) T-cell Lymphoma and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, both of which are recognized as orphan conditions with unmet needs, and as markets with huge potential. MedC is developing its own proprietary red sea-algae “Algel” gel-based products, with a variety of applicable uses for skin health and wellness, and is also pursuing opportunities in veterinary medication and pet health, specifically oncology and inflammation-related indications (an estimated $400 million annual market).
MedC’s campaign marks the first capital raise through the joint service offering between DealSquare and DealMaker. DealSquare, powered by NEO, is a fully automated and centralized platform allowing capital raisers to publish their private placement opportunities, dealers to complete their due diligence, and advisors and investors to electronically subscribe to a deal. DealMaker provides the back-office technology, transaction engine, and electronic signature functionality for investors submitting orders electronically, compliantly, globally. Together, DealSquare, NEO, and DealMaker provide MedC with the smoothest transaction experience and broadest reach of capital market participants.
“The launch of our private offering leveraging the joint service capabilities of these reputable platforms marks a significant step towards MedC taking its place amongst industry leaders that are determined to legitimize and deliver the health benefits of cannabinoids to the global community,” remarked Dr. Owen Van Cauwenberghe, President of MedC. “Our tireless efforts and commitment to substantiated medical and health claims for these products will ensure that their benefits will be available to all those in need. We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of the combined DealSquare, NEO, and DealMaker offering.”
MedC’s listing on DealSquare, combined with the technology of DealMaker, creates an opportunity for investors who believe there is a global need to mature and legitimize the cannabis and cannabis-related health and medical market, by supporting the development of products that deliver health and wellness benefits. With the funds raised from the campaign, MedC is targeting international expansion, initially across Canada and Australia, with plans to launch in Europe, UK, Asia, and Latin America shortly thereafter. It will also expand its product offering with new lines for different markets and multiple dose formats. There will be a strong focus on research and development of high value market products, as well as regulatory work, thus enabling MedC to further enhance its product offering.
“We welcome MedC as our first partner in the joint initiative we have launched with DealMaker,” said Peter-Paul Van Hoeken, Managing Director of DealSquare. “The cannabis-related health and medical sector is a fast-growing market that offers attractive investment opportunities. The MedC listing enables dealers and advisors to offer this investment opportunity to their clients, and to execute investments efficiently and in a fully digitized way through our online platform.”
“MedC is well-positioned to deliver effective medical treatments for skin conditions in a highly underserviced market, and the funds raised from this joint campaign will help make that possible,” added Rebecca Kacaba, CEO of DealMaker. “We are honoured to be powering MedC in raising the capital needed to achieve rapid growth.”
“MedC’s capital raise is truly a noteworthy event,” concluded Jos Schmitt, President and CEO of NEO. “It marks the coming together of like-minded organizations, all of whom are on a relentless pursuit of innovation for the benefit of others. By harnessing the combined strength of DealMaker and DealSquare, powered by NEO, MedC gains exposure to a wider investor community, both here in Canada and abroad.”
