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.

 - see some early case studies here

  1. 1 OniX Competitive Analysis Agent

Global grants, publications, clinical trials, and news — one search, several reports. Stay current in your field without anybody else knowing you're looking.​

 

  1. 2. OniX Patent Agent

Worldwide patent search across 100+ patent offices, plus a dedicated US-only mode — see where an asset sits in the patent landscape before you invest further. Requires your own free API key(s); see Setup & Instructions.

  1. 3 OniX Regulatory Agent

Regulatory feedback and pathway analysis for a specific asset — what typically applies at a given development stage, including animal- health/veterinary questions, not just human drugs.​

  1. 4 OniX Asset Intelligence Agent

A private due-diligence report on a specific asset — target expression, safety/toxicity, structural analog comparison, competitive landscape, regulatory hurdles, and patent landscape, all in one document. Includes a downloadable draft investor pitch-deck built from the same data.

  1. 5 OniX Funding Agent

Federal grant programs and private foundation funding opportunities, matched to your specific research area.

  1. 6 OniX VC & Industry Agent

Investor and industry-landscape research — funding trends, comparable deals, and market positioning.

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.
