Financing the frontier of healthcare.

We work with early-stage companies to advance their vision and ensure longevity.

Chardan’s private financing capabilities include company formation, seed financing, initial rounds of pre-IPO funding, as well as bridge and mezzanine financing.  We provide private companies access to a robust network of fundamental healthcare institutional investors, venture funds and Chardan’s unique distribution network of family offices to raise the capital they need to get off the ground.

Chardan has led landmark private transactions for cutting-edge private companies, including Forge Biologics’ $120 million series B financing and PassageBio’s $115.5 million Series A financing and $110 million Series B financing, ReCode Therapeutics’ $80 million Series A financing, and Taysha Gene Therapies $30 million Seed round.

Chardan provides guidance and execution services for healthcare companies seeking to access the capital markets to support their growth strategies. Our highly experienced equity capital markets team connects companies to a large network of investors and strategics. Additionally, we spend considerable time assisting companies with positioning, materials and broader market color.

Our team holds a highly successful record with key roles on numerous marquis biotech IPOs including AveXis, Moderna, Passage Bio and Achilles.

Chardan has been a leader in SPACs since 2004, and in 2018, pioneered the use-case of SPACs for biotech companies. We have since developed an industry-leading healthcare SPAC practice acting as sponsor, underwriter and M&A advisor.

For innovative private or non-US listed healthcare companies, we identify if the SPAC instrument is the right way for their company to get public, identify potential SPAC partners, advise on structure and assist if there is an additional capital requirement via a PIPE or bridge financing.

For SPAC sponsors looking to combine with healthcare companies, our domain expertise and access to deal flow is unparalleled. Chardan is an ideal partner to help you get a successful deal closed.
