The Early Stage Biotech Playbook
Beyond novel science, high-performing biotech organizations have mastered something essential: a resilient operational foundation that fuels value creation without draining resources. The key is to make smart choices early: what you need and what you don’t, when to build and when to outsource, how to differentiate and how to communicate your story, and how to fund your vision by prioritizing the de-risking of your science.
This playbook offers practical guidance for building a biotech company that can weather uncertainty and attract investment. You’ll learn how to:
- Build lean but effective operations that preserve capital for de-risking your science
- Access expertise without the burden of fixed costs
- Foster cross-functional alignment to enhance rather than hinder progress
- Ensure operation foundations meet investor expectations and attract funding
