Last week saw the announcement of a fundraise by former Woodford investee Oxford Nanopore. The headlines were that £110 million had been raised but in fact only £29.3 million will go to the company. The rest was share sales by existing holders – including the former Woodford funds and IP Group, but the details so far seem to be shrouded in mystery. However, the maths for the former Woodford funds looks awful – which may explain the lack of detail offered up so far. Meanwhile, Oxford Nanopore’s cut of £29 million won’t last it very long and I suggest another funding round must be on the cards before the summer.
