THE TEAM
We know firsthand what it takes to build a successful company - from
inception through sale or operation as a public company. We have been
entrepreneurs ourselves; we have formed companies, financed companies, built
management teams and negotiated with "Wall Street".
The Radius executive team is supported by actively engaged Venture Partners and a committed Advisory Board, each with stellar credentials.
It all adds up to a very powerful team with high-level relationships spanning the health and life sciences industry, the venture capital community and Wall Street.
