Insulet objected to MannKind hiring and MannKind withdrew the offer

Regardless of his faults he still possess insights into wearable drug delivery systems. He did a deal with Amgen for Nuelasta which nets Insulet (PODD) about $40MM in sales per year. They are also pursuing deals with other pharma's for drug delivery.
He also set the stage for sales growth with PODD revenue growing from $247MM in 2013 to $327MM in 2015. They also have a history of beating earnings expectations.
Additionally PODD had no problem raising funds this year. They just completed a $300MM convertible note offering with high enthusiasm from the purchasers.
The good comparison UNS has over PODD is the SG&A. PODD sells directly to the end user while UNS is a BtoB model hence our SG&A aka marketing and sales expenses are virtually none existent.
They also narrowed their loss to $1.2MM for the quarter ending June 2016.
An equivalent market cap to PODD would put UNS at $123.25USD.
Yup -- I'd take his advice.
He was a good get.
