Paid consulting projects with biotech investors and startups
Supplement your income
All of our projects are paid. Even if you have no industry experience, your technical expertise is highly valuable. We encourage all consultants to charge a rate that adequately values their expertise.
Learn about biotech startups and VC
Learn by doing. Because our projects are paid, the projects are important to our clients' businesses -- not academic exercises. We enjoy helping people learn, and enjoy learning from others.
Build your network
Our project teams are small and cross-functional. You may work with a drug hunter with 30 years of experience or a brilliant scientist from the lab next to yours. We try to present to clients in person as much as possible.
Advance your career
Consulting is a great way to support yourself financially while you build your network and find your next job. Consulting can also help pay the bills while you start a company.
Core team
We started this consulting agency after working on a few projects together and realizing how much fun it is. Our goal is to meet interesting people and work on cool projects (and get paid while we're at it!). We are serious about our work and commitment to delivering high quality results to clients, but we like to have fun while doing so.
Most importantly, we value every person who works with us -- we care more about working with great people than making money or building our resumes.
