Martin N. Streeter brings over 30 years of international executive deployment of mission-critical software systems in compliance with FDA/EMA regulatory guidelines. He started his career as a biostatistics/database expert on the original Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) Clintrial software team (back in the early '80s). He got lucky and participated in an early angel investment round funding PAREXEL International (now a multi-billion $ CRO). Along the way, he raised >$1M in venture capital funding to launch and run his own company Invantage, Inc. - an entity focused on creating trusted alliances between physicians and industry, thereby accelerating and reducing pivotal Phase III trial startup costs. Invantage was acquired by Perceptive Informatics (a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAREXEL International) in September 2002. Working over 10K hours, he gained a deep intuitive understanding of pre-clinical and drug development processes capped via authorship of corporate-wide quality control guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs). More recently, at Massachusetts Medical Angels (MA2), he has played a vital role in the screening and deep-dive due diligence reviews of early-stage Life Science, Healthcare IT, and Medical Device investment opportunities. Martin holds a BA in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Colorado and an MS in Biometry/Biostatistics from Case Western Reserve University.
