Make innovation in Life Sciences
happen.
We are ZEST, a boutique consultancy helping companies reach and perform in the demanding Life Sciences industry.
SHERPAING TO YOUR MARKETS
We’re not your typical consultants — we’ve been out in the industry, carried the bag, and know firsthand what it’s like to be in your position.
We’ve worked within local teams and helped them scale quickly. We’ve also made companies outperfom in hospital tenders, using a practical, proven approach that drives real results.
Our focus is on execution that sticks — making sure improvements are sustainable and built into the way you work.
While we’ve got some proven tools and best practices, that’s not where we stop. We take the time to understand what makes your business unique, then tailor world-class strategies to fit. This way, our team is equipped to execute consistently and drive scalable, predictable growth.
WHAT WE DO
We bring all the managerial zest needed to make your technology a reality for hospital professionals and their patients. We work from the incorporation to get you on the best possible track, to managing the long R&D stage to ensure you reach your first revenues, and to the complex contracting phase with hospitals.
Entrepreneurs
For 3 to 6 months, we co-design with you the business and managerial elements necessary to convince investors, partners and subcontractors.
R&D-stage
We provide frameworks and tools to make your innovation reach the market.
So you can stay focused on what matters:
your technology.
Commercial-stage
Our unique expertise in “Tender Excellence” will transform your performance in calls for proposals or in the management of your distributors.
Incubators
We offer our sector expertise to members of incubators and economic development organizations.
2nd chance
We are interested in recently discontinued ventures and are looking at the possibility and opportunity to give them a fresh start.
OUR AMBITION
Robust growth.
90% of Life Sciences start-ups fail.
They don’t fail because of their innovation, but because they think their rise to success will be more linear and fast-paced than it ends up being.
Innovating in Life Sciences is like a challenging mountain climb. Success requires expert guidance, strategic resource management and management capabilities.
We’re passionate by this threefold transformative journey : from an idea to a product on a hospital shelf, from a healthcare practitioner or scientist to a well-rounded manager, from a couple of dreamers tinkering and working on the back-of-the-envelope calculations to a well-established corporation.
Ultimately, true achievement isn’t just scientific breakthrough or making good money, but real-world impact in hospitals.
Our mission is that no Life Sciences innovation should fail due to mismanagement.
