Turning Science into Actionable Strategy: Case Studies from Biovertex Consulting Portfolio

At BioVertex Consulting, the past few months have been a rewarding working across diverse healthcare innovation stakeholders across the globe. From Business Development, to Venture Coaching, to VC advisory, each project reflects how strategic, hands-on support can help bridge science and execution.

Business Development for an AI Platform Company

We’ve been supporting a cutting-edge AI platform company specializing in protein design and engineering. The work focuses on strategic business development by meeting new customer acquisition objectives through sales and marketing activities.

The goal has been to connect their technological edge of deep learning models that accelerate protein optimization with real-world problems faced by therapeutic, industrial, and synthetic biology companies. It’s been an exciting space where AI meets experimental biology, and the potential for redefining protein discovery workflows is immense.

Venture Coaching for Early-Stage Academic Teams

In parallel, we’ve been coaching academic innovators as they explore pathways to translate their science into ventures. Many of these teams are in the early stages of ideation still defining their commercial hypotheses.

Our role involves guiding them through venture exploration and stakeholder engagement to clarify their value proposition, link it to the unmet need, identify potential customers or partners, and build an early narrative that resonates beyond the lab.

It’s incredibly fulfilling to see researchers begin to think like founders, translating their passion for discovery into impact-focused ventures. These engagements also highlight how structured venture coaching can accelerate technology translation, especially when scientific depth meets entrepreneurial curiosity.

Supporting a VC in Pressure-Testing Investment Plans

On the investment side, we’ve been assisting a venture capital firm to build and pressure-test development plans for emerging biotech opportunities.

This involves evaluating early data, mapping potential value creation pathways, and stress-testing assumptions around technical milestones and timelines. The objective is to help investors make more informed seed-stage decisions that are not just based on scientific novelty, but on operational feasibility and strategic clarity.

The experience reinforced how early, structured diligence around execution strategy can de-risk investment and strengthen syndicate confidence.

Connecting the Dots

Across these projects, a common thread emerges which is the need for translation. Translating complex technology into partner value, translating academic science into a viable venture, and translating investor interest into executable development plans.

At BioVertex Consulting, this is the space we love to operate in: helping innovators, founders, and investors navigate the strategy–science interface with clarity and precision.
