Fractional BD Intelligence — Senior-Level Scouting Without the Full-Time Overhead
For early-stage biotechs with 1–3 assets that need the intelligence, access, and partner introductions of a seasoned BD team — on a scoped, flexible engagement.
Coming soon: OniX Agents — private, local AI for competitive intel, patents, regulatory & asset diligence. In private testing now — message me to get on the early access list.
SECTION 1: THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Most seed-to-Series A biotechs face the same paradox:
You have a compelling asset. You need partners, funders, and co-development conversations. But a full-time BD hire costs $200K+ per year — before benefits, equity, and the 6–12 months it takes to onboard and produce results.
OniX Hub was built for exactly this gap.
We deliver fractional BD intelligence — meaning you get senior-level research, outreach, and warm introductions on a scoped monthly engagement, starting when you need it and scaling as your pipeline grows.
SECTION 2: THE REAL DIFFERENTIATOR — ACCESS
It's Not Just Intelligence. It's Access.
Any firm can pull a researcher list. What OniX delivers is something most BD consultants simply cannot replicate: direct, trusted access built over 25+ years on every side of the funding and partnership equation.
Three layers of access that come with every OniX engagement:
🔬 Academic & Innovation Access 1,000+ direct relationships across universities, biotech parks, and research institutions in 20+ countries — built through tenures at JDRF (managing a $650M global research portfolio) and PCORI (founding team member of a $4B congressionally mandated research institution).
💰 Funding Organization Access A verified network of 500+ funding organizations spanning:
-
Federal agencies: NIH, NSF, ARPA-H, DoD, BARDA, CIHR, UKRI, FNRA, NHMRC, JSPS
-
Private foundations and disease-specific nonprofits
-
Venture capital and pharma-dedicated VC funds
-
A growing family office network with active life sciences mandates
🤝 The Last Mile OniX doesn't just deliver names. We make direct, trusted outreach on your behalf — pre-qualifying interest, gauging IP availability, and handing you warm introductions to researchers and partners who are already engaged and expecting to hear from you.
That's the difference between a spreadsheet and a conversation that leads somewhere.
SECTION 3: THE ONIX AI DISCOVERY ENGINE
One Platform. Built Specifically for Life Sciences - Local & Private. (more details coming soon)
OniX's intelligence is powered by a proprietary agent AI platform that monitors the global research and funding landscape continuously, patents, regulatory intelligence and more.

SECTION 4: WHAT ONIX DOES FOR YOUR COMPANY
What a Fractional BD Engagement Actually Delivers
Depending on your pipeline and stage, an OniX engagement can include any combination of:
✓ Precision scouting of academic and industry partners aligned to your asset(s) ✓ Warm introductions to researchers and potential co-development partners — not cold emails ✓ Non-dilutive funding identification (NIH, NSF, ARPA-H, SBIR/STTR, foundations) to extend runway and de-risk assets ✓ Connection to VC, pharma VC, and family office capital networks actively deploying in your therapeutic area ✓ Competitive landscape mapping for your lead indication(s) ✓ Regulatory and reimbursement pathway assessment ✓ Monitoring of emerging global assets that could complement, compete with, or be in-licensed into your portfolio ✓ Federal co-funding partnership structuring — where OniX helps leverage your seed investment into NIH/NSF/ARPA-H matching dollars
All delivered on a scoped, monthly retainer — no long-term contracts, no full-time overhead.
SECTION 5: WHO THIS IS FOR
Is OniX Right for You?
Fractional BD engagements are designed for:
-
Seed to Series A biotechs with 1–3 assets and an active pipeline
-
Academic spinouts preparing for their first industry partnership or licensing conversation
-
Rare disease companies needing global scouting across low-prevalence indications
-
Platform technology companies seeking to identify the right disease indication and development partner simultaneously
-
International biotechs entering the US market and needing NIH/federal funding navigation alongside BD support
If you have a compelling asset but not yet the BD infrastructure to surface the right partners and funders — OniX was built for you.
