Q Therapeutics is a private biotechnology company developing a patent-protected cell therapy product to treat a large number of neuro-degenerative diseases for which there are currently no long term effective treatments. We believe this is a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. We are seeking $1-2 million to enable IND filing, and subsequently $2-10 million to carry out initial clinical trials. Our technology and approach have been recently validated by receipt of a $3.4 million NIH grant in 2009 for translational development of our Q-Cells® product to treat ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), based on compelling animal data. I have attached an Executive Summary. If this profile fits your investment criteria, I would be pleased to provide you with additional information. We are seeking $2MM to get us to IND status.

VCs are becoming more attentive to the needs of today's entrepreneurs, as the post states. Having gotten to know a few in my area, I can certainly say that the change is noticeable.
