Why partnerships matter

The Vendor Selection Challenge

The challenge

Biopharma innovators waste months evaluating service providers:

  • 200+ CROs globally, each claiming unique capabilities
  • Opaque pricing that makes true cost comparison impossible
  • Conflicting recommendations from vendors with inherent biases
  • No single source for integrated trial execution needs

The consequence? Delayed timelines, mismatched vendor capabilities, and costly do-overs when partnerships fail.

We've done the hard work of vetting, qualifying, and building relationships with best-in-class partners across every function you need. We know which partners excel in which situations, and we have no financial incentive to recommend the wrong fit.

  • Selective, Not Exhaustive — proven track record, quality over cost
  • Vendor-Agnostic Guidance — no referral fees or commissions
  • Active Management — pre-negotiated frameworks, performance monitoring

Our Partner Ecosystem

Access specialized capabilities across every function critical to clinical development success — all pre-vetted, performance-tested, and ready to deploy.

Clinical Research Organizations (CROs)

Full-Service CROs

Mid-sized CROs (200–2,000 employees) that provide the quality of large players without the bureaucracy:

  • Regional specialists in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America
  • Therapeutic focus areas: Oncology, rare diseases, CNS, immunology
  • Phase expertise: Early-phase (I/IIa) specialists and late-stage (IIb/III) execution partners
Niche & Specialty CROs

For specific capabilities that general CROs often lack:

  • Advanced therapy CROs (CAR-T, gene therapy, cell therapy)
  • Pediatric trial specialists with rare disease networks
  • Decentralized trial (DCT) operators with telemedicine and home health capabilities
  • Medical device CROs with combined pharma/device regulatory expertise
When we recommend: You need end-to-end trial management but want to avoid the "black box" of mega-CROs where your program gets lost.

Contract Development & Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs)

Small Molecule CDMOs
  • API synthesis and formulation partners across US, Europe, India, China
  • GMP manufacturing from clinical-scale (kg) to commercial (metric tons)
  • Analytical development and method validation
  • Tech transfer and process optimization specialists
Biologics & Advanced Therapy CDMOs
  • Cell & gene therapy manufacturing (autologous and allogeneic)
  • Viral vector production (AAV, lentivirus, adenovirus)
  • Monoclonal antibody and ADC conjugation facilities
  • Fill-finish and cold-chain logistics partners
When we recommend: You need manufacturing capacity but don't know which CDMOs have availability, the right technology fit, or competitive pricing for your volume.

Patient Recruitment & Retention Specialists

Geography-Specific
  • US community oncology networks
  • Europe country-specific registries
  • Asia-Pacific multi-country coordinators
  • Latin America regional specialists
Disease-Specific
  • Rare disease patient registries

  • CNS/psychiatric screening specialists
  • Pediatric recruitment via advocacy
Digital Recruitment
  • Social media and digital advertising
  • AI-powered EMR screening
  • Patient-facing trial matching apps
  • Physician referral management systems
When we recommend: Slow enrollment is threatening your timeline, or your disease population requires specialized outreach strategies.

Regulatory Affairs & CMC Consulting

  • Regulatory Strategy Partners: FDA specialists (IND, NDA, breakthrough designation), EMA specialists (PRIME, conditional approval), PMDA (Japan) specialists, and global regulatory harmonization
  • CMC & Manufacturing Regulatory: CMC writing for IND/BLA/MAA submissions, comparability protocols, GMP compliance and remediation
  • Orphan Drug & Breakthrough Designations: Specialists in securing fast track, breakthrough therapy, RMAT designations, and economic modeling for health authority interactions
When we recommend: You need specialized regulatory expertise beyond what your internal team or general CRO can provide.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you receive referral fees from partners?

No. Our business model is built on client fees, not vendor commissions. This ensures our recommendations are always in your best interest.

Q: What if I already have vendor relationships?

We're happy to work with your existing partners. We can provide independent assessments of their performance and fill gaps where needed.

Q: Can I work directly with partners after introduction?

Absolutely. Once we've facilitated the introduction and initial scoping, you work directly with the partner. We remain available for issue escalation and performance monitoring if needed.

Q: What if a recommended partner doesn't work out?

If a partnership fails within the first 90 days due to capability misrepresentation, we'll facilitate a replacement at no additional cost for the re-selection process.

Q: How do you keep your partner ecosystem current?

We conduct quarterly reviews of all partners, soliciting feedback from clients and monitoring industry developments. We proactively sunset relationships that no longer meet our standards.

Q: Do you partner with large CROs like IQVIA, PPD, or ICON?

We maintain relationships with all major CROs but typically recommend them only for late-stage (Phase IIb/III) global trials where scale is essential. For most of our clients, mid-sized specialists provide better fit.
