In today’s biotech landscape raising capital is incredibly tough.
For many start-ups, the road to funding feels like a maze of moving goalposts, closed doors, and endless pitch decks.
It’s draining, unpredictable – and often deeply frustrating.
So many biotech founders are stuck between scientific progress and financial uncertainty, unsure whether they’ll make it to the next milestone.
But capital alone doesn’t build a company.
A growing gap between vision, execution, and the people needed to bridge it.
💡 One success factor is often underestimated:
An independent board that focuses on the company’s mission – not just investor interests.
And just as important:
Sustainable leadership and talent strategies that help teams navigate the realities of scaling – under scientific, regulatory, and financial pressure.
👉 In my work with biotech companies, I support founders and leadership teams in building resilient, future-ready organizations – with the right people in the right roles.
If you’re reflecting on how your hiring and leadership approach can support long-term success, I’m happy to share perspectives.
Funding matters – but the right people make all the difference.
