Aderans

[Dazza]

For the pessimists.

Who the **** spends 140 million only to release a product that does not work well.

These guys are serious.

Stop your bullshit.

One word..

"Microsoft".. They spend billions and there products don't work..

[yeahyeahyeah]

See http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/h...e_newcoke.html

You can't compare the two.

By this point coca cola was an established product, so they took a gamble.

Aderans are creating their flagship product.

"Bill Gates".. he says "more money was being spent finding a cure for baldness than developing drugs to combat malaria."

Gates said more money was being spent finding a cure for baldness than developing drugs to combat malaria.
'Now, baldness is a terrible thing and rich men are afflicted,' he joked. 'That is why that priority has been set.

Idiot.

If he had went bald young he would have been affected mentally.

After windows was established.

Their first product was good, it had to be.

I don't like hair loss either, but get it together. Dying of malaria in some god-forsaken third world country is a hell of a lot worse then a shiny bald head.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but seriously.

[Pate]

Having had malaria at approximately the same time I started balding, I can attest that for me, balding was by far the more traumatic experience emotionally.

But maybe that's because I always knew I'd eventually get cured of malaria... and sure enough I did.

Coca-Cola radically altered their flagship product into something very different. The two are directly comparable.

And this is neither Aderans' first product nor its flagship product. Aderans is a decades-old company whose flagship product is wigs.

...

It is their first product for hair cloning.

So what? You've dismissed every other counter-example by claiming that the company mentioned was already established, or that the referenced product wasn't their first one. All the same is true for Aderans.

A hair multiplication product will no doubt be a huge boon to Aderans if it proves successful. But it's not their first product, it's not their only product, it's not their main product, and it won't kill the company if it doesn't pan out.

You say that, and we know Aderans is apart of a large corporation with a heck of a lot of financial backing.

But reading this article, why do they need to attend conferences to ask other people for money if they're apart of such a big financially sound company?

One of those in the audience Monday was Vern Liebmann, chief operating officer at Aderans Research of Marietta, Ga., a company working on a cellular-based treatment to reinvigorate hair growth.

Liebmann said he attends about four similar events a year with a prime goal of obtaining funding to advance the treatment from Phase 2 testing to the marketplace.

"We see how we can share knowledge and information," said Liebmann, who returned to Stamford after many years and was impressed by its growth.

why do they need to attend conferences to ask other people for money if they're apart of such a big financially sound company?

Because "Company A is a subsidiary of Corporation X" doesn't mean "Company A is completely funded by Corporation X." Corporations typically expect their subsidiaries to succeed (or fail) on their own; they don't just pump unlimited capital into them year after year.

Aderans Inc. set up Aderans Research Institute, Inc. (ARI) back in 2002 and provided ARI with $400,000 of seed capital. An on ongoing basis, though, ARI needs to come up with its own operating capital, which includes finding partners to help defray the costs of conducting clinical trials.

So it's been more than 6 months since Aderans has issued any sort of update, which is the longest gap in communication since early 2009.

I really wish they'd say something about their clinical trial results/updated commercialization timeline (if they're still planning to commercialize). I know I'm reading WAY too much into this, but I hope this isn't a bad sign... this wait is killing me!

Sorry, just venting. It's been a bad week.

[Person]

In my personal opinion, Aderans is a waste of time. I definitely would not consider waiting around on them. They are FAR from finished. Realistically 2018. I used to research them then I realized how much more they have to do and how shady of a company aderans is. Its a lot of money raising and little progress. Seems like a money making scheme. Just my opinion though.

[Joker]

That's a fine opinion to have, but are we talking about the same company? Aderans is conducting large-scale clinical trials, which to me seems like respectable progress. I mean, it's slow and we have no idea how effective their treatment is, but it's more than we can say for most companies... sadly...
