How do you discover who funded a study? Someone asked a similar question here: How to find out who funded a study / research?
several years ago, but not a single person had a real answer. So perhaps now. So...how? How do I find information on who funded a certain company or where their funds might come from in general? Specifically trying to find information on this company: https://ridgebackbio.com/
Thank you in advance.
PS: not looking to be spoon-fed information on this company, but to learn this skill on following money. I just can't find any resources to learn it in the first place.
To answer the &quot;who funds a company&quot; question, which is not the same as &quot;who funds a study&quot;:
Real biotech companies are usually pretty easy to get information on. Take Editas for example. Lots of information there about funding cause it's a real company and it helps make investors less nervous when there's transparency (and they can see other real investors have skin in the game).
Your example has no public information because it's not a real biotech company. It's a shell company that's brokering IP in a way that probably relies on &quot;Political connections&quot;, which often means something that is poorly distinguishable from bribery. Any public information is just more ammo for a US attorney if they start poking around.
