investment of over $230MM from Goldman Sachs Asset Management ("Goldman

4G Clinical was founded in 2015 by seasoned entrepreneurs and RTSM technology 
experts, David Kelleher and Ed Tourtellotte, to accelerate clinical trials by 
leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) to disrupt the way trials are 
executed. 4G Clinical's Prancer RTSM(R) enables life sciences companies to 
reach First Patient In (FPI) up to 50% faster than other providers and 
implement mid-study changes more efficiently. 4G Clinical's clinical supply 
optimization solution, 4C Supply(R), incorporates real-time RTSM actuals to 
prevent stock-outs and reduce drug waste. Life sciences organizations are also 
increasingly shifting to modern eClinical solutions like 4G Clinical's Prancer 
RTSM(R) and 4C Supply(R) to address the rising complexity of clinical trials. 
To date, 4G Clinical supports clinical trials for over 100 biotech and pharma 
clients globally. 

"As life sciences companies strive for creativity and innovation in trial 
designs, they cannot afford to be limited by technology," said Ed Tourtellotte, 
CTO of 4G Clinical. "Our vision was to build Prancer RTSM(R) to handle any type 
of trial within any indication. We've held to that vision, enabling our biotech 
and pharma clients to let the science lead."

"This investment is transformational," said David Kelleher, CEO of 4G Clinical. 
"In just over 5 years, 4G Clinical has grown from a start-up to a globally 
recognized leader in RTSM, helping life sciences organizations execute clinical 
trials of any size and complexity throughout the drug development lifecycle. To 
maximize our impact on lives around the globe, we must unwaveringly drive 
innovation in our technology and processes to tackle clinical trial 
bottlenecks. This investment from Goldman Sachs ensures that we will not be 
constrained in any way in that effort."

"The eClinical Solutions market has expanded rapidly over the past several 
years with best-in-class, tech-first solutions leading the way, presenting an 
exciting opportunity for Goldman Sachs," said Jason Kreuziger, a Managing 
Director in Goldman Sachs Asset Management. "4G Clinical's established 
reputation and global reach to date underscores their immense potential over 
the next few years. We are honored to partner with and help 4G Clinical 
accelerate their growth," added Antoine Munfa, a Managing Director in Goldman 
Sachs Asset Management.
