Funding, Filing, and Finance: Most current update of this lecture

Dear All:

I had the opportunity today to share an updated version of my “Funding, Filing, and Finance” talk with the attendees of Superbugs & Superdrugs in London. Topics covered were:

• Funding: What are the global initiatives? Where can you find information on how you could apply?
• Filing: What are the must-read background documents for developers? What are the key challenges to anticipate?
• Finance: What is happening with Pull incentives? What types of products are most likely to earn a Pull incentive?

If you are interested, you can download a copy of the talk here.

All best wishes, –jr
