Marketing built forbreakthrough science.

Two ways to work with us: an ongoing marketing lead, or a focused sprint with one goal. Senior people only, and the scope is fixed in writing before we start.

Retainer€2.5k–€6.5k / month

Fractional marketing lead

A senior marketing lead who works inside your company like one of your own, from your office when you're near Antwerp or the Bay Area. Behind them, a small senior bench covers strategy, narrative, campaigns, design and demand. Three-month minimum; step up whenever the workload does.

Questions founders ask

The practical stuff.

See the work
Who do you work with?
Biotech, HealthTech and climate-tech founders and CEOs, typically seed to Series B, with a small team already shipping product and selling.
How are you different from an agency or one in-house hire?
The classic agency setup puts a vendor across the table from you; the classic first hire puts the entire marketing function on one person. We do neither. Your marketing lead works inside your company, from your office when you're near ours in Antwerp or the Bay Area, with a small senior bench behind them covering strategy, narrative, campaigns, design and demand. Insider insight plus a department's range, without one person's ceiling.
How fast can you start?
Scoping happens on a 30-minute intro call, with a one-page scope within 48 hours. Most engagements start within two to three weeks.
What do we own at the end?
Everything: positioning, narrative, campaigns, prompt libraries, playbooks and dashboards all stay inside your company. No lock-in.
Where are you based?
Co-leads in San Francisco and Antwerp, covering EU and US working hours and working with founders anywhere.
Do you run anything local?
Yes, a free quarterly session hosted at incubators, accelerators and science parks across Flanders, open to the founders in the building. Details on the Flanders page.
How does the founder course work?
A short commercialization course for climate and biotech founders, run as a small cohort, live or virtual. It's €950 per founder, or €5.5k for a private incubator cohort of up to eight founders. Formats can be customized on request.
Can we start with fewer hours than a full retainer?
Yes. The retainer runs in three bands: Advisory at €2.5k a month (~2 days), Embedded at €4.5k (~4 days) and Lead at €6.5k (~8 days). Smaller bands mean a narrower scope, not thinner people: the same senior operators, fewer tracks owned. Three-month minimum, and you can step up whenever the workload does. Based outside Antwerp or the Bay Area? Ask about a hybrid model with a week on-site each month, quoted per engagement.
How does AI fit in?
AI is how we deliver, not what we sell. It compresses research, drafting and operations so a small senior bench moves at the pace of a much larger team, with your voice and your claims intact.
