Development strategy that survives diligence

We turn scientific ambition into a plan investors, regulators, and operators can execute: TPP, roadmap, resourcing, and BD narrative in one frame.

Strategy & Planning

A BioVertex strategy engagement starts with the decision the company actually has to make: what to develop, for whom, by when, and with what capital. We do not deliver a generic corporate-strategy deck. We build the Target Product Profile, the integrated development roadmap, and the competitive story that your board and investors will pressure-test.

That work sits upstream of program management. If the TPP is vague, CMC, nonclinical, and clinical workstreams will fight each other. If the roadmap ignores CDMO lead times or regulatory sequencing, the Gantt chart is fiction. We have built these plans inside Novartis, Biogen, Editas Medicine, Tessera Therapeutics, and now as an embedded partner for early-stage teams.

Typical outputs: a decision-ready TPP, a stage-gated development roadmap with resource implications, a competitive intelligence brief, and BD or investor materials that match the science rather than oversell it.

What you get

Who this is for

Academic teams moving toward a first institutional round, Pre-Seed to Series B biotechs that need a real development thesis, and VC firms that want an independent read on a target's plan.

Questions we hear

A TPP is the single document that says what you are building, for which patients, with which claims, and what that implies for CMC, nonclinical, clinical, and regulatory work. Writing it before you lock a candidate or a fundraise forces trade-offs into the open instead of discovering them at IND.
A pitch deck sells. A development strategy has to survive operational diligence: timelines, dependencies, kill criteria, and what happens if CMC slips six months. We write both so they tell the same story.
Yes. A common engagement is venture coaching: TPP, development roadmap, governance sketch, and training so a lab team can talk to investors in development language rather than grant language.
Focused TPP and roadmap work is typically 4–8 weeks. Broader competitive and BD packages run longer. We start from a free 30-minute consult and scope to the decision in front of you.
