Our services

We work with organisations of all sizes including academic institutes, tech transfer, life science investors, startup companies and established organisations.

With our wide network of associates, we undertake defined consulting projects and/or provide hands-on management support. We also serve on clients’ boards as non-executive directors.

We leverage front-line industry experience with proven track records in consulting to help our clients create sustainable value.

Strategy & Planning

We work closely with client teams to define technology, market and product strategies and translate these into real-world operational plans. Our scope includes:

  • market entry strategy
  • corporate and business development
  • portfolio and diversification strategy
  • product development
  • formulation of business plans

Due Diligence

We undertake all aspects of due diligence, including science/technology, IP, development, regulatory, manufacturing and commercial.

Alacrita’s team combines:

  • professional consultants with significant due diligence experience
  • functional and technological specialists with relevant industry backgrounds

Team members have conducted due diligence in M&A, IPO and VC financing settings. We also undertake opportunity analysis relevant to corporate development (new product development, technology acquisition, market entry, etc).

Reality Check

In situations requiring external objectivity, or where specific skills and experience are not represented amongst the leadership team, a Reality Check can provide an effective ‘deep dive’ into a given issue.

A Reality Check is often a useful checkpoint before entering formal due diligence and can reveal the areas that present greatest risk and which should therefore be the key focus of more detailed analysis.

There are other times when an external Reality Check pays dividends:

  • projects, patent applications and procedures can take on a life of their own, and organisational inertia masks the need for a decision
  • even for an experienced management team, external experience with a different perspective may reveal unseen issues
  • virtual teams can benefit from periodic input from experienced professionals when it is not necessary to make a part time appointment

Alacrita’s team provides a rapid, efficient and expert Reality Check tailored to your needs.

Operational Support

Having held senior management positions in both start-up and established life science companies, Alacrita’s consultants add value to a client’s management team from the outset.

We provide part time management support (or even an entire management team) in start-up situations or where work-load is not sufficient to justify a full-time appointment.
