We did not receive any help from the BDC.
Before an investor gets interested in injecting venture capital in the commercialization of an innovation, we have to cross, as was said earlier, “the valley of death.” There is a phase where we do not receive assistance. The marketing of a product like the iPhone or other common consumer products is not the same as the marketing of a medical innovation which has an impact on the care process. This requires more than my personal funds, or those of friends and family. A time comes when you have to find financial support. Without subsidies necessarily, we need to have access to more venture capital, or the BDC criteria have to be reviewed so that it can really help businesses to get going at a point where no one is helping them.
