  • Clinipace Worldwide Obtains Acquisition Capital from NXT Capital Venture Finance

    October 12th, 2012 No comments

    Woodside, CA, October 10, 2012 – NXT Capital’s Venture Finance Group today announced the closing of financing to support Clinipace Worldwide’s acquisition of Paragon Biomedical, Inc.

     Clinipace Worldwide, a global digital contract research organization (dCRO), has pioneered an innovative service model to transform drug and medical device development by delivering technology-amplified services to mid-tier drug development and medical device firms. Acquiring Paragon Biomedical significantly expands Clinipace’s therapeutic expertise, site management capabilities and clinical operations. This acquisition also extends Clinipace’s global footprint, adding offices in Irvine, California; High Wycombe, United Kingdom; and Trivandrum, India.

     Headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, Clinipace is backed by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, Hatteras Venture Partners, Brooke Private Equity, Osage Venture Partners and Mario Family Partners.

     “NXT Capital provided less dilutive capital to help Clinipace with a strategic acquisition that accelerates growth, enhances our value proposition and expands our footprint,” said W.H. (Bud) Owen, CFO, Clinipace Worldwide. “NXT Capital Venture Finance has been extremely attentive, responsive and flexible as we worked through the acquisition process. In addition, NXT’s significant capacity to help us with follow-on financings makes NXT a valuable long-term partner.”

     “Clinipace’s unique dCRO approach is fundamentally changing the way clinical trials are run by improving quality, increasing visibility and lowering costs. Acquiring Paragon will help Clinipace better serve customers, create a unified platform and build a foundation for continued expansion,” said Peter Fair, Managing Director, NXT Capital Venture Finance. “We are excited about Clinipace’s future prospects and look forward to funding further strategic initiatives.”
