Trusted by VCs to Build Teams That Get Biotech, Medtech & Digital Health Moving

From first hires post-seed to leadership builds at Series B and beyond, we help founders and investors get talent right early

Backing the science is just the start. We help VCs back the right teams.

Backing an early-stage life sciences company is always a bold move — high science, high stakes, and no room for the wrong hires. From preclinical biotech to AI-enabled diagnostics, the success of your investment often comes down to the people leading the charge.

We support VC firms and portfolio founders by getting close to the business early — understanding the science, the market play, and the operational risks. Whether it’s helping a spin-out make its first strategic hires, building out a cross-functional team post-Series A, or advising founders on where they might be underweight, we’re not just recruiters — we’re problem-solvers.

We’ve helped staff stealth-mode gene therapy start-ups, assemble founding teams for digital health platforms, and advise on commercial build-outs for medtech companies scaling into the US market. We understand the dynamics of venture-backed growth — compressed timelines, shifting priorities, and pressure from the board.

Many of our relationships with investors are long-term — supporting multiple companies in their portfolios and acting as trusted talent partners as they move through stages of funding, build, and exit. We understand dilution, burn, and the importance of timing — and we know what it takes to go from two people and a pitch deck to a team that can deliver on a Series C milestone.

We understand the dynamics of venture-backed growth: compressed timelines, limited internal HR infrastructure, and founders learning on the job while steering the ship. We also understand how hiring ties into downstream value. In a recent report, over 60% of venture-backed life sciences companies cited talent gaps as a key barrier to meeting clinical or commercial milestones.
Our experience spans:

> Biotech: gene therapy, oncology, rare disease, RNA platforms
> Medtech: diagnostics, surgical robotics, digital diagnostics, AI in imaging
> Digital Health: remote patient monitoring, clinical decision support, digital therapeutics

We advise on org design, help pressure-test hiring plans between rounds, and act as a talent sounding board for both investors and founders. We've supported stealth-mode spin-outs, first-time CEOs, and investor syndicates looking to de-risk their talent stack ahead of critical raises.

The reality is this: in early-stage life sciences, talent is often the single biggest factor in hitting the next milestone. We help you get it right, early.
