Biolauncher’s principals all have operational experience of starting their own venture backed businesses, growing them and expanding overseas. Our advice is rooted in real world experience. We work with leading universities and entrepreneurs to help establish new companies, and help growing companies source suppliers or develop commercial and marketing strategies. We have also acted as local partners to help customers to establish UK operations by seeking premises, negotiating lease agreements, procuring equipment, acting as interim management and recruiting staff.

We tailor each project to the needs of the client company and are able to work in advisory, planning and/or interim management capacities, depending on the scale and scope of the project.

What Founders Need to Know

Successful companies are based on strong business models. Management, Intellectual Property (IP) and “the plan” are all important ingredients in the recipe for a successful company, but they will not attract funding by themselves. Biolauncher works with you to shape a realistic plan for your business that reflects your ambitions and your company’s risks and future growth potential.

In underatking technology and opportunity assessments, we seek to understand the technology and the market need for products based on that technology. We can do this on the basis of detailed knowledge of a number of domains. If the product concept is disruptive we may also make some assessment about how much it might cost to acquire customers and develop the market. The outcome of this work is an evidence-based view of the business and the likely scale of the opportunity.

We work with founders to develop business plans that describe how an innovation will be developed into a marketed product. We have extensive expertise of business modeling and fund raising and we understand how to assess and communicate the business’ capital requirement to fund the business through product development and marketing. We will also explore your commercial options and test your assumptions. Our objective is to build the strongest possible, realistic business plan with you.

BioLauncher also helps companies identify sources of non-dilutive and venture capital funding. We have, for example, raised over £5M in UK grant funding in the last 4 years for our clients.

Developing the Business and Capital Value

We can help you with all aspects of your business plans, from research and writing, to fund raising and implementation. BioLauncher can provide additional resource to work with your team on an interim or a discrete project basis.

We are able to help at the research stage by reviewing or creating project plans, and developing risk mitigation approaches. We have the market insight and connections to help you select partners if you are seeking to outsource some of your development efforts.

We can also help launch or re-launch a product or service offering. We may also be able to help you grow new markets for your products by helping you partner technology with organizations that provide a significant additional channel to market. Our deal sheet includes multi-million pound software and technology licensing agreements.

Our ShowcaseBio system and e-marketing tools can be used to develop targeted populations of potential customers that underpin effective marketing campaigns.

Relocating to the UK

Our operational expertise is at your disposal if you are considering relocating to the UK. We are able to make introductions to relevant government agencies and provide detailed and tailored competitive analysis of the strengths of any location to reflect its potential for your business. These include connectivity to your market both in the UK and Europe, as well as routes to access local suppliers and potential collaborators.

In the past we have secured premises, negotiated leases, managed lab and office fit-outs and undertaken equipment procurement and staff recruitment. Our aim is to use our on-the-ground connections to deliver a fully operational facility for your business and make your relocation more efficient.
