OpusPoint Partners, LLC is an investment advisory firm specializing in healthcare and life sciences.[1]
Background[edit]
Founded in 2009 by Michael S. Weiss and Lindsay A. Rosenwald, MD,[2] the firm acts as the investment manager for some portfolio private hedge funds in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors.[3]
In October 2010, OpusPoint invested approximately $3 million into National Holdings Corporation and formed a joint venture. As a result, a new investment banking firm, OPN Capital Markets, was established to leverage the resources of both companies.[4][5]
Among others, OpusPoint Partners participated in the private placement for such companies as Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that developed Voreloxin, an anticancer drug used in acute myeloid leukemia.[6]
