IS THIS YOU?
Just Got Funded?
The moment funding comes through, the clock starts ticking. You need to hire scientists — but don't have payroll, benefits, or compliance policies in place. Every month you spend figuring this out is a month of runway burned on something that isn't advancing your science.
Been in Business for Years?
Good team. Solid product. But your HR has been running on informal systems and good intentions — and it's starting to show. You're losing good scientists to competitors. Your compliance hasn't been reviewed in years. And nobody has the time or expertise to fix it.
Facing a People Challenge?
A performance issue you're not sure how to handle. A termination that needs to be done legally and compassionately. A reduction in force that requires careful planning. These are the moments you need someone who's been there before.
