The market02 / 14
01The market

Pharma M&A is moving faster than your research can keep up.

  • 01CDMO/CMO consolidationat a multi-decade high — 200+ transactions annually in North America.
  • 02PE hold periods shorteningexit windows tightening from 5–7 years to 3–5.
  • 03The firms winning mandatesare not the best analysts — they're the best informed.
  • 04The winning edgeis relationships and judgment. The bottleneck is raw intelligence.

The gap03 / 14
02The gap

The current way of working is leaving deals on the table.

  • 01Research is manual.Analysts spend 60–70% of time finding and organizing information, not analyzing it.
  • 02Intelligence is scattered.News, FDA data, broker emails, Excel trackers, meeting notes live in silos.
  • 03Mandates move slower than the market.By the time a longlist is built, the window has shifted.
  • 04Relationships are undocumented.Who knows whom lives in people's heads, not a system.
Today: six places, no shared memory
NEWS FDA EMAIL EXCEL SLACK MEMORY NO SHARED MEMORY

Principles
  • Files, not platforms. Intelligence is portable YAML — diffable, version-controlled, yours.
  • Intelligence compounds. Every signal sharpens the next mandate. The system gets smarter.
  • Your workflow, not ours. The platform adapts to how your team works — not a prescribed process.
  • You own what's built. Skills, config, data — full handover, zero dependence.
