"Daniel G" made an interesting remark, quoting in part:

  • Over the same period, many liquid biopsy and precision diagnostics companies have either disappeared from public markets, been acquired at distressed valuations, or quietly failed to translate scientific promise into sustainable, reimbursed clinical businesses. [aka survivor bias]

  • Capital is not rewarding liquid biopsy per se — it is rewarding reimbursement visibility, guideline inclusion, operating scale, and disciplined execution. The winners built infrastructure, not just technology.
