Jeffrey Estes Bio

Jeff Estes helps private, development stage companies bring the latest advances in life science, medical device and emerging technologies to fruition as he guides them through the financing of every major milestone – from initial start-up through their exit. His knowledge of the venture market and finance creates opportunities that accelerate the creation and growth of innovative technology platforms, expand business models and spur exploration into new global markets. Two decades of high-volume, fast-paced deal experience informs his cost-efficient and streamlined approach. He coaches companies and investors through every aspect of venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings and intellectual property transactions. Jeff credits early career experience as the general manager of a business in its early years for his understanding of the financial priorities and challenges emerging companies face. He has established long-term relationships with development stage companies who seek his advice regarding financing options to support critical product research and development. As a key part of Jeff’s practice, he frequently advises medical device companies through their lifecycle in devising various contractual templates and often plays a key role in clinical trial agreements with contract research organizations.
