Portfolio LicenseNew

The deal intelligence layer
for biotech and pharma VCs.

Pro for every portfolio company. Plus the fund-level intelligence layer your operating partner actually opens — quarterly benchmarking reports, dedicated analyst hours, cross-portfolio partner matching, and a live admin dashboard.

The Problem

Your portfolio companies are negotiating
every deal with one hand behind their back.

They negotiate against anecdote, outdated databases, and outside counsel billing $1,500/hour for incomplete benchmarks. A single mispriced Phase 2 licensing deal costs $5–20M in foregone upfront — every quarter, in every TA, across every fund.

Below-market upfront — every time

No visibility into market-rate terms for their stage and TA. Companies accept upfronts 15–30% below comparable deals because they have no quantitative basis for counter-proposals.

Milestone structures that leak NPV

Milestone allocations that undervalue clinical and regulatory achievements relative to comparable transactions — costing $2–8M in NPV per deal that nobody sees on the term sheet.

40+ wasted hours per deal

BD teams spend 40+ hours assembling manual comps from press releases and SEC filings instead of structuring the negotiation. Time is the most expensive line item.

The Portfolio License costs less per year than one hour of outside counsel at a top-tier life sciences law firm.

Why we built this

“I've spent every quarter for the last three years watching portfolio companies leave money on the table because they didn't have benchmarks the partner across the table did. Outside counsel charges $15,000 per deal to assemble comps that take our platform 30 seconds. The Portfolio License is what I wanted at every fund I've worked with — institutional deal intelligence as portfolio infrastructure, not as an expense line.”

Designed For

One platform. Three fund stages.

Whether you're deploying Fund I or coordinating 20+ portfolio companies, there's a tier built for your operating cadence.

Growth

Emerging Managers

Fund I–II · 3–5 portfolio companies

Your first operating partner hire needs leverage — not more spreadsheets. Growth gives every portfolio company institutional-grade benchmarks for less than 10% of an analyst FTE.

View Growth tier
Scale

Active Mid-Stage Funds

Fund III–IV · 8–12 portfolio companies

You have the portfolio density where cross-company coordination matters. Scale delivers 5 hours/month of dedicated analyst time and the visibility layer that prevents two companies from chasing the same partner uncoordinated.

View Scale tier
Enterprise

Institutional Funds & CVCs

15+ portfolio companies · Complex org structures

You need white-glove service, a named analyst who knows your portfolio, and a quarterly strategy call with our Managing Partner. Enterprise is built for procurement teams that demand SSO, DPAs, and audit trails.

What the operating
partner gets.

16 capabilities your portfolio companies will never see — the reason operating partners renew. Organized in five categories, each addressing a specific pain point operating partners deal with daily.

Admin Dashboard

Know which portfolio company is in deal mode — without asking the CEO.

A read-only command center for the operating partner. See which companies are actively benchmarking, what comps they're pulling, and where deal activity is concentrating across the portfolio. The visibility you needed without the awkward Friday afternoon CEO check-in.

  • Live activity feed of portfolio benchmarking sessions
  • Per-company engagement metrics for LP reporting
  • Therapeutic area heatmap showing deal-comp clustering
  • Pooled seat management — reassign instantly as the portfolio evolves

Enterprise Exclusive

Three capabilities reserved for
Enterprise funds.

The difference between a software subscription and a trusted advisory relationship.

Quarterly Strategy Call

With Managing Partner

A quarterly 60-minute session with Issa Kildani. Review portfolio-wide deal activity, calibrate benchmarking priorities for the next quarter, and get strategic guidance on your highest-priority transactions.

Named Analyst

10 hrs/mo dedicated

Your fund gets a named analyst who learns your portfolio, your TAs, and your LP reporting cadence. Not a help desk ticket — a relationship. Bespoke reports delivered within 5 business days.

Advisory Preferred Rates

15% discount

Enterprise customers receive 15% preferred rates on all Ambrosia Ventures advisory engagements — from deal-specific benchmarking reports to board-level strategic assessments.

The Math

Earn it back on a single
milestone payment.

The Scale tier costs $60,000/year. A single Phase 2 licensing deal carries $200–500M in total deal value across upfront, milestones, and royalties. The math is unkind to anyone choosing the alternative.

Doesn't account for reduced outside counsel hours ($15–25K per transaction), faster deal timelines, or improved LP reporting.

What $60,000/year is also less than

One BD analyst FTE (fully loaded annual cost)~$240,000
One operating partner (fully loaded annual cost)~$600,000
One annual Cortellis enterprise subscription~$120,000+
Outside counsel for a single complex licensing deal~$75–100,000

Replaces a category of spending biotech VCs already make — at less than half the price of comparable enterprise platforms (Cortellis, Evaluate Pharma, Capital IQ), with deeper deal-mechanics specialization than any of them.

Why Funds Switch

Legacy platforms weren't built for deal mechanics.

Broad pharmaceutical databases cover pipeline and financials. Ambrosia covers the negotiation layer — upfronts, milestones, royalties, and partner matching.

Data & Security

Information barriers between every portfolio company

Every portfolio company seat is isolated. The admin dashboard shows aggregate activity only — never individual search queries or proprietary analysis.

Seat Isolation

Company A cannot view Company B's searches, saved comps, or deal memos. Hard partition at every layer.

Encryption Everywhere

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Hosted on Vercel with Supabase backend.

SOC 2 + Custom DPA

SOC 2 Type I roadmap in progress. Pre-built security questionnaire responses + biotech-VC-appropriate DPA template.

Data Portability

All portfolio company data exportable on request. 90-day post-termination retention with full export support.

Database integrity: 1,900+ verified biopharma licensing, partnering, and M&A transactions sourced from SEC 8-K filings, FTC premerger filings, press releases, clinical trial registries, and proprietary Ambrosia Ventures deal intelligence. New transactions added within 5 business days of public disclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Everything your procurement team will ask — answered upfront.

Can we modify or cancel our contract?

All Portfolio License contracts are billed annually. Seats are pooled and reassignable at any time from the admin dashboard. We offer a 30-day written notice provision for tier downgrades at renewal. No mid-term cancellations — but the math on keeping it is pretty compelling (see the ROI section above).

How is portfolio company data kept separate?

Every portfolio company seat is fully isolated. Company A cannot view Company B's searches, saved comps, deal memos, or any proprietary analysis. The admin dashboard shows aggregate activity only — never individual search queries. All data is encrypted AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.

How long does onboarding take?

Four weeks from signed contract to first quarterly report. Week 1: fund setup and SSO configuration. Week 2: 30-minute walkthrough with each portfolio company. Week 3: partner profiles, alert feeds, and playbook curation. Week 4: baseline portfolio benchmarking snapshot delivered.

Do unused analyst hours roll over?

Yes — within the contract year. Unused hours from Q1 can be used in Q2–Q4. Hours do not carry over to the next annual contract. We find most funds use their full allocation once the analyst learns their portfolio composition.

Can we add or reassign seats mid-contract?

Yes. All seats are pooled across the portfolio. Add new seats at the per-seat rate for your tier at any time. Reassign existing seats between portfolio companies instantly from the admin dashboard — no support ticket needed.

Do you support custom integrations?

API access is included in all portfolio tiers. We offer a read-only REST API for funds with internal data warehouses or custom dashboards. Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations are native. For deeper integrations, we scope custom work through advisory engagements.

What about multi-fund or family office pricing?

Contact us directly. We offer cross-fund seat sharing, consolidated reporting across multiple funds, and custom pricing structures for family offices and multi-strategy platforms. Enterprise tier required for multi-fund configurations.

How does this compare to Cortellis or Evaluate Pharma?

Cortellis ($120K+) and Evaluate Pharma ($40–60K/seat) are broad pharmaceutical databases. Ambrosia is purpose-built for deal mechanics — upfronts, milestones, royalties, partner matching, and negotiation benchmarks. We go deeper on the partnering and licensing layer while costing 50–75% less. They're complementary tools, but Ambrosia covers the deal intelligence gap those platforms don't address.

From contract signed to first
quarterly report — 30 days.
