the pitch
At iMBP, we are the next stage of biotech evolution. We are combining innovative technology with biotechnology as part of our proprietary, cutting-edge “TechBio” approach to biopharma. We give communities the opportunity to invest in their own health as we improve the way drugs are discovered to make them more effective and affordable.

The company is pre-revenue and in the prototype phase.
Overview
Bringing Hope to Communities Through Tech-Powered Biopharma
iMBP is developing a revolutionary approach to drug discovery to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives with their loved ones. Our founder, Chairman, and CEO Dr. Urban A. Kiernan, Ph.D. is a seasoned BioTech leader with decades of industry business and scientific research experience. However, his passion is what drives him beyond what any academic or work experience could ever afford him.
"The feeling of helplessness I experienced when my first wife died from cancer was devastating. Then, a single Dad with two little girls, the world turned upside-down. From this pain, I recognized the utopic potential the biopharma industry has to offer... and that is the power to keep families together... for just one more... one more memory to hold onto. You cannot put a price tag on that. This is my passion and this is why I created iMBP."
– Dr. Urban A. Kiernan –
Husband, Father, Founder & CEO of iMBP
The Problem & Our solution
Harnessing the Power of TechBio to Improve Drug Discovery & Development
Today’s developmental process for new, lifesaving drugs is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. The current industry solution is to simply spend more money, resulting in over-expensive therapeutics with marginal benefits. Ultimately, the deficiencies of this system places the cost burden on the people who need these therapeutic solutions most.
Our Solution was the development of iPlatform™, our proprietary computational approach that uses in-silico therapeutic discovery and molecular design to improve upon traditional biotechnology. This creates both economic and time-saving advantages to drug discovery, allowing for life-saving solutions to potentially reach the clinic faster and more affordably. This is the value that TechBio offers to you and your loved ones. Enabled through our partner Amazon Web Services (AWS), iPlatform™ is rapidly evolving and already producing drug asset leads for the expansion of the iMBP drug pipeline.
the market & Our Traction
Rapid Development & Progress in Multiple Massive Markets
Our drug asset efforts are currently focused in three primary areas: metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s Disease).
Our TechBio approach has allowed iMBP to achieve multiple milestones normally not experienced in BioTech companies until much later in life, including:
- Two partnership agreements with Ligand Pharmaceuticals/OmniAb for drug asset development
- A partnership agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for iPlatform™ development
- Acceptance of iMBP into the McDermott Wills and Emory LEAP program for corporate legal counsel
- Raised over $1,100,000 in total funding to date
- An issued U.S. patent for proprietary therapeutic methodology (US/9,783,600)
- Five established disease therapeutic asset programs, with four additional programs in preparation to go online
- Preparation of first technology and two additional method IP set for provisional filing in December 2022
- Assembled group of world renowned and experienced advisors and executive team members
"Ligand is proud of its heritage of establishing strategic partnerships with innovative, emerging organizations with experienced management teams and our agreement with iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation is another example of such an alliance."
– John Higgins –
CEO at Ligand Pharmaceuticals

What is FDA Orphan Drug Designation & Why is it Important?
You may have heard about orphan drug designation but what does it mean?
Orphan drug designation allows for streamlined regulatory pathways that will cut years and save millions of dollars in developmental costs. Why is this important?
Using orphan drug status helps get a drug through clinical trials faster and iMBP has a program in the works. This saves both time and millions of dollars in R&D costs.
Success with the FDA is a major value generating hurdle and would lead to revenue generation sooner. And that means boost ROI for investors like you.
As orphan diseases have patients with high unmet medical need. It is a of way helping people who have no real solutions yet, and that’s our mission at iMBP.

Thank you for all your support!
Your investment is already being deployed to create value in the company.
Our efforts are largely focused on the development of iMBP science. This includes both our technology and our therapeutic molecules.
- iPlatform™ – We have already filed two provisional applications and is being used in the continuous improvement of our current asset pipeline as well streamlining our next generation of therapeutics into the future.
- Drug assets – we are taking iPlatform™data and actively expressing and re-engineering the molecules in our five disease programs. These efforts are creating a broad net of value as iMBP therapeutic innovation puts us in a class of our own.
A small portion of your money is being spent to expand the out reach of our campaign and continue to build our community. We have hundreds of non-investor followers and we are looking to gain their support and join in our cause.

Everyday investors like you investing more in startups!

Since 2016, retail investors have invested $2.3 billion in US startups. And the gains can be astronomical, with some industries seeing a return of 10,000% - 60,000%.
But don’t just in invest in any startup. Invest in one that could revolutionize the way drugs are discovered!
At iMBP, our mission is to change the way drugs are discovered to bring more effective therapeutics in a more effective and efficient manner.
A win-win.

Our innovative approach to Alzheimer’s Disease
Approximately 6 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that so far has no cure and cannot be reversed.
Newly approved treatments do show some effectiveness in either slowing the progression of the disease or improving symptoms, but they come with significant side effects that may be potentially life threatening. iMBP wants to change this!
Our novel therapeutic program is still in the discovery phase, but its innovation makes it a stand-alone approach in the Alzheimer’s disease drug space.
But we can’t do it without help and support from you. Become an early owner or share this opportunity with your friends so we can provide hope in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease?

Is my understanding correct that you use ML to discover therapies? And do you plan on licensing out therapies once you discover them or bringing them to market on your own? Also, do you plan on letting other companies use iMPB and taking a percentage of revenue they generate or something like that?

Good afternoon,
I'm considering investing. I'm curious on other diseases that you are looking into to help cure/sustain, like Parkinson's and P.S.P. (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). My Dad passed away from P.S.P. recently and I worked with a well-known actor who's wife has had Parkinson's for over 20 years along with Michael J. Fox. Are these two areas also being looked into? It's imperative that we find what's causing these diseases and curing them.
Another one to look into is Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis, which took my girlfriend back in 2017. It was her 4th type of cancer that she endured.
Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

I saw that iMBP applied to two NIH grants for Alzheimer's Disease. Could you explain to me how this helps the company. Are these loans, like SBA? Are they investments? Sorry for not fully understanding, but this is the first biotechnology investment I have ever considered.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS
Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
