What would you do with 7k+ meticulously tagged biotech & pharma data points?

An example of what we’ve compiled.

Over the past year, TLDR Biotech has been collecting and categorizing industry news across approvals, clinical trials, fundraises, partnerships, M&A, politics & policy, and much much more.

Each data point is tagged by drug modality, disease indication, tech area, and even more specific categories. For example:

🔍 Need to track all small molecule fundraises across oncology?

📈 Want a curated list of recent cell therapy clinical trials updates (both the successes and failures)?

💡 Looking for trends in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease partnerships?

We’re leveraging this resource to build tailored reports and curated insights for select clients—and now you can get full access.

(Here’s an example set of our data - gene-editing stories over the last 4 months)

What’s included

  • Live updated Airtable spreadsheet (updated once daily) of all of the news that we've collected that fits the tags you're surveying - this includes historical access going back to May 2024.

  • You get access to all the power of filtering and categorizing that Airtable offers as part of this. 

  • As we upgrade and enrich our data further, you get automatic access to these enriched datapoints for free.

We’re asking for a minimum 6 month contract, and you only need one seat for your entire organization.

(All payments upfront, but we have a 100% refund guarantee within the first month if you’re not satisfied.)

Frequently Asked Questions 🤔 

Q: What’s the pricing?
Just click here to see our pricing - this is for access to the whole database plus updates on a daily basis as we write and publish the TLDR Biotech newsletter. If you’re instead interested in just a one-time download of data, filtered to the tags/data-points you’re interested in, send us an email: [email protected].

Q: Can I export this data?
Yes you can - you’ll receive a link to an Airtable view (similar to the example data you can check out above) where you can copy-paste out data or you can download to a csv.

Q: How frequently is the database updated?
The database is updated every weekday in the morning PST, when we do final editing and publishing of our daily TLDR Biotech newsletter.

Q: What time period does the historical data cover?
Our current data goes back to May of 2024 from when we started the TLDR Biotech newsletter - we may look into a further backlog, but no guarantee on if/when we’ll be doing this.

Q: How many total companies/organizations do you track in the database?
As of now, we have tracked news from 3.5k+ companies across biotech, pharma, and some medtech/techbio sprinkled in there too.

Q: What are all the filtering categories available?
Here’s a list of the filtering categories we have:

  • Drug modality

  • Indication/disease area

  • Tech area: tag related to the associated technology or a more specific tag for the drug modality - eg. With xell therapies, the tech area column will specify the kind of cell therapy

  • Healthcare Equity & Access, Public Health, Patient Safety: tags related to these topics

  • Lawsuit specific tags: tags related to the kind of lawsuit (if a lawsuit story)

  • Misc tags: tags that don’t fit any of the above columns (eg. Natural disasters)

  • Biosimilar or generic: tag for these stories when applicable

  • Facility, Manufacturing, Outsourcing: tags related to these topics

  • Politics, Policy, Public Department: tags related to these topics - federal/public agency names are included here, not under “Company” column

  • Business & Partnerships in Biotech; Drug Discovery & Development-related tags: this includes any business/partnerships tags and the type of these relations (eg. A partnership focused on co-development will have a “Drug development” tag in this column)

  • Regulatory Tags: tags related to regulatory affairs/issues

  • Criminal Acts & other naughty behaviors: tag related to these topics, including reasonings for Form 483s/warnings letters

Q: Do you have a way to filter/track companies working in [area]?
We probably do! Send us a message [email protected] or on LinkedIn and we’ll let you know.

Q: Can we request custom tags or categories be added?
We are happy to discuss this as we work on improving the database and enriching the data we currently have.

Q: Do you provide any training or onboarding for using the Airtable interface?
Yes, we offer onboarding training to all of our clients to help them get the most out of the Airtable interface.

Q: How comprehensive is your coverage of non-US/international biotech news?
Our data sources are US/EU-focused, so we capture international stories that are covered from those news sources.

Q: Do you offer enterprise pricing for larger organizations?
As mentioned above, you only need one seat for your entire organization to access, regardless of organization size.

Q: How do you source and verify your news data?
All data is sourced and vetted by a human-person, and references official press releases, documentation (public filing or legal briefs), or news pieces. Occasionally for breaking stories or for those stories without official press releases, we may link to a LinkedIn post from a company employee.

Q: Can we integrate this data with our internal systems through an API?
This is something we can discuss on a case-by-case basis, but will incur additional development costs on top of the current subscription pricing.

Q: Is there a limit to how many users can access our single organizational seat?
For shared views, Airtable does not appear to have a limit.

Q: Do you offer any visualizations or analytics of the data trends?
Part of our roadmap is to implement a more user-friendly UI which will include visualizations and analytics, we’re happy to take your suggestions on what you’d want to see here.
