Our coaching model is built on 4 cornerstones:
Get individual support and guidance
Life science startups face unique business challenges and solutions, which is why we offer support and guidance based on your specific needs.
Benefit from bi-weekly meetings with a dedicated coach who follows your journey. Together we tailor solutions to your challenges to guide your business forward.
Expert resources to help you resolve key startup issues
Business Forum gathers all the expertise you need in one place to focus on your company’s specific challenges.
Business Forum is:
- A condensed business coaching forum where expert coaches meet to assess the problems of a specific company. The company presents its challenges/current situation at that forum.
- All experts have deep knowledge and experience from different aspects of life science and give valuable feedback by assessing the situation and suggesting solutions/action points.
- Regular Business Forum meetings have several outcomes including helping companies facing a particular challenge, checking on how things are going for each startup, and attempting to foresee and prevent any future problems.
- Our experts share their network as well as their expertise.
A complete program to help you prepare your strategies
Our Business Strategy Program teaches you how to think strategically and prepare to become the expert you need to be in your market to build a successful business.
We use traditional models like NABC /https://c84.io/nabc/ and real-world industry requirements. Most investors looking at life science companies will have due diligence criteria similar to NABC.
Connect with our wide market network of investors, international partnerships and market leaders.
We facilitate access and exposure to key local and international market players. We help you validate your business model, scale your operations and build the right partnerships. All to help sell your innovation/solution.
