We specialise in supporting scientific startups, university spinouts, and research-led SMEs throughout their technology development and commercialisation journey. Our mission is to give you the freedom to focus on your innovation while we manage the business operations—without the cost of hiring an executive team.
Here’s how we help at every stage:
Pre-funding: Assistance with budgeting, business planning and set up, and funding presentations
Post-funding setup: Full operational rollout including financial systems, reporting, health & safety, and quality strategy
Ongoing support: Complete operations management
We work on-site and hands-on, ensuring your company is running efficiently and setting a foundation for growth.
We partner with early-stage scientific startups, university STEM spinouts, and research-based SMEs looking to commercialise innovative technologies.
We know how critical cash flow is in early-stage ventures. That’s why we focus on:
Setting up lean, cost-effective systems for operations, finance, procurement, and reporting
Managing external suppliers such as IT, accounting, and purchasing—ensuring you get the best value for your money
Reducing overhead by supplying the core functions without the need for multiple large overheads
Our approach allows you to direct more funding toward your technology development, while keeping the business operating smoothly in the background.
We make collaboration easy and flexible. Whether you need occasional strategic input or full operational support, we tailor our engagement to your needs:
Choose between various package levels from complete operational management to initial set up and monthly retainer
Tailor your support as your company grows or enters new phases
We integrate seamlessly into your team and workflows as a trusted operational partner
You stay in control—while we handle the day-to-day.
We provide executive-level expertise at startup-friendly rates. Costs depend on the scope and duration of support—let’s talk during a free scoping consultation to provide a clear proposal.
While we’re based in South East England and primarily support companies in Oxfordshire, Thames Valley, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, East and West Midlands, we’re happy to discuss remote or hybrid support models for businesses further afield.
