THE PROBLEM

The Idle Valley Problem

Early-stage life science ventures face a painful choice: hire an expensive, qualified full-time Product Manager too early and burn cash during long R&D cycles, or wait too long with complicated hiring processes and miss a critical commercial window while your investors are waiting for results.

Most spinouts can't justify £100k+ for a role that sits partially idle during 6-12 month experiments.

But without strategic guidance, R&D can make outstanding scientific products, with the risk that there is no market for them.

"I discovered this in the life science industry. A full-time product management intensity doesn't match the early biotech's rhythmic reality. The Idle Valley is real, and it costs companies thousands in misallocated resources, when being lean and fast is most critical."
