Why BioHub exists
Partnering should not take a year of cold emails
Finding a licensing partner or an investor usually means months of desk research, cold emails that go unanswered and conferences that miss the right person. Smaller companies rarely have a business development team to do this full time.
We do that work for you. AI-assisted search across 14,900+ life sciences organisations finds the candidates. Experienced industry professionals decide who fits, and open the door.
How it works
From brief to introduction in three steps
1
Brief
We meet you to agree what you are offering, what you need and which partners would fit. Our team drafts the brief and you sign it off.
You receive
A one-page partnering brief: asset, indication, stage, deal structures, geography, named targets and exclusions
2
Partner map
We identify the companies and investors that match the brief, and the decision-makers there in business development, licensing, and search & evaluation.
You receive
A ranked map of 20 to 25 counterparties, each with a reason for fit
Verified contacts at Director to VP level, two or three per company
3
Introductions
We contact them in your name with a short non-confidential summary, follow up, and put you in touch with those who confirm interest.
You receive
Warm introductions to counterparties that want to talk
Every reply tracked and reported
You can stop after any step and keep what we have delivered. Part of our fee is due only when a counterparty confirms interest.
What you get
Three things you would otherwise do yourself
Partner and investor identification
The companies and funds that match your brief: pharma and larger biotech that could license, co-develop or acquire, and investors that could fund the next stage.
Decision-maker research
The right people at each counterparty: Director to VP level in business development, licensing, search & evaluation and strategy, with verified contact details.
Outreach and warm introductions
We contact them in your name by email and LinkedIn, handle the follow-ups, and introduce you to those who confirm interest. Nothing confidential is shared before a confidentiality agreement.
Who it's for
Two sides of every partnering conversation
If you have an asset to partner or finance
Biotech and pharma companies looking for a licensing partner, a co-development partner, an acquirer or an investor, without a business development team to run the search.
If you work in BD, licensing, search & evaluation or investment
We only contact you about opportunities that match your company's focus, starting with a short non-confidential summary. If it fits, we arrange a confidentiality agreement and an introduction. If it does not, a short reply is all we ask.
Opportunities screened against your stated focus
A non-confidential summary first, details under CDA
Every brief and partner map is reviewed by experienced pharma business development and licensing professionals. The search is assisted by AI; the judgement is human.
Search at scale
14,900+ life sciences organisations in our database, matched against your brief and enriched with current decision-maker contacts.
Priced on results
Three staged fees: the brief, the partner map, and a fee per counterparty that confirms interest. You stop after any step and keep what we delivered.
Discreet by design
Outreach starts with a non-confidential summary. Details are shared only under a confidentiality agreement, and only with counterparties that confirm interest.
Pricing
Three gates, one per deliverable
Each gate is invoiced when its deliverable is handed over, and you decide whether to continue. The last gate is charged per counterparty that confirms interest, so most of the price falls due only when there is someone to talk to.
Gate 1Brief
A fixed fee for the intake meeting and the one-page brief.
Gate 2Partner map with verified contacts
A fixed fee for the ranked map and the decision-maker contacts at each counterparty.
Gate 3Confirmed interest
A fee per counterparty that confirms interest, invoiced monthly. You can cap the number up front.
A one-page description of what you want to partner: the asset, indication and stage, the deal structures you would consider, the geographies, named targets and exclusions. We draft it with you in a one-hour meeting, and it drives everything that follows.
How do you keep our asset confidential?
Counterparties first receive a short non-confidential summary. Details are shared only after a confidentiality agreement is in place, and only with those who have confirmed interest.
Who does the outreach?
Our team contacts the decision-makers in your name, by email and LinkedIn, follows up in waves and tracks every reply. You see who was contacted, who replied and who wants to talk.
What if nobody confirms interest?
You pay for the brief and the partner map only. The per-introduction fee is due only when a counterparty confirms interest, so our revenue depends on your results.
Can we bring our own brief or target list?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry. We will tell you whether it is ready to use as it is, or what we would add before starting the partner map.
How long does it take?
It depends on the geography and on how many counterparties are on the map. We agree a timeline when you sign off the brief, and you see progress as the replies come in.
