Frequently Asked Questions

 The Catalytic Site is a career counseling service dedicated to helping academic researchers (Master's, PhD, postdocs, etc.) explore opportunities in the dynamic sector of life science startups.

My goal is to equip you with the insights, tools, and network needed to navigate this landscape confidently and build an intentional, successful career.

  The Catalytic Site offers online courses covering the fundamentals of life science startups, along with guidance to help you assess the opportunities available to you.

Additionally, I provide personalised career support, including LinkedIn profile and CV reviews, interview preparation, and assistance in building a network within this field to help unlock your career potential.

 Whether you're just starting out, considering a career change, or looking to advance in your current role, I'm here to help.

I typically assist:

• Academic researchers (PhDs, Postdocs, PIs) looking to transition into the biotech startup space.

• Scientists at early to mid-career stages in biotech or pharma who want to advance within startups and fully understand their potential.  Even if you've already transitioned into industry, I can help you progress in your career by making intentional, strategic choices. 

If you don’t fit into one of these categories, feel free to reach out anyway – we can have an informal chat to explore how I can support you on your journey.

 I primarily work with professionals in the United Kingdom, as my approach aligns with the structure and modus operandi of startups in this country. However, many of my strategies are applicable beyond the UK, and I'm happy to connect with individuals globally. 

If you're based outside the UK, feel free to reach out, and we can explore how I can assist you.
