I have referenced this before, Blackstone's currently has $1 trillion in assets under management, they state they have bought 147 medicines to market at 84% rate of success in phase 3's, with 21 MD's or PHD's on the team.

Recent case study last month with Moderna US$750m for future sales milestones and single digit royalties;https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.biospace.com/article/moderna-secures-up-to-750m-in-funding-from-blackstone-to-advance-flu-program/&ved=2ahUKEwjik9WImd-FAxVByzgGHUJeCC8QFnoECBEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw10B09VAeOztPEoCQJu4RNS
Assuming we have same success in remaining phase 2 trails as we have in PMS, the future for Neu under this type of deal with Blackstone or alike offers the best possible out come for patients and shareholders, plenty of cash, firepower with experience in collaboration with our current team, gets drugs to market quickly, Neu in full control, leaves our current cash flow or at least a greater percentage of growing cash flow from DAybue to Neu to develop further indications beyond the current 4.
If our current 4 x 2591 indications have a potential conservative peak sales estimate of US$22bn, bringing another 2-4 into the picture could do the same in the next few years.
I know Jon referenced once that just licensing out 2591 as we have done with Acadia would be a boring type of option, as I have mentioned previously if he quotes that option as boring then TO would be the most boring on any scale especially at a price that is not relative to recent deals like Reta's skyclaves that deal worth US$8bn therefore ours worth US$10bn .......When I think of what would be the most exciting this type of deal with the likes of Blackstone is evidently the most exciting given the opportunity we get to keep our assets for small cost of 10%-20% perhaps, the upside is enormous for Neu with a lot of the risk mitigated.
