KNOWLEDGE, TOOLS AND NETWORK

 The Catalytic Site is built on three key pillars: Knowledge, Tools, and Network, each designed to support your transition into the life science startup space and help you grow within it. 

 The foundation of your journey starts with knowledge (after all, you are scientists!). The "Intro to Biotech Startups" online course will give you a clear and concise overview of life science startups. You’ll learn about the drug development process, the role played by biotech versus pharma, the startup lifecycle, and who invests in them. More importantly, the course equips you with the critical skills to evaluate whether an opportunity is right for you—understanding how to weigh the risks and identify hidden roles in the biotech landscape. The course serves as the perfect starting point for developing your own understanding of the space. 

 Once you understand how this ecosystem operates, you need the right tools to showcase your strengths effectively. I offer an easy, actionable review of your marketing materials—such as your LinkedIn profile, CV, and candidate briefs—through the Profile Power-Up course, along with tailored 1:1 sessions.

With these tools in place, you’ll be ready to capture the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, ensuring you stand out in a competitive market.

 The most important element of all is your network. I understand the power of connections and will help you build yours by giving you a strong start. Not only will I support you in expanding your network, but you’ll also gain access to mine.  This network allows you to connect with key players in the life science startup landscape, helping you unlock hidden job opportunities and establish valuable relationships. 

 If you're interested, your revised CV and profile briefs can also be stored in the Hub of Innovation repository—a curated resource accessed by hiring managers and specialist recruiters actively seeking talent like yours. 

 Together, these elements provide a holistic support system to guide you through your transition, ensure you are well-prepared, and connect you with the right opportunities.
