In the modern demanding world, a great innovation does not suffice. Investors, grant providers or suppliers wants to know the business reality underneath. We work with your entrepreneurs to spot the right market(s) and orchestrate a trustful roadmap to hit them in the most efficient, lean and credible manner.

Investors in the Life Sciences industry have their habits. Some great innovations failed at raising funds because investors did not immediately find what they wanted to know. ZEST provides entrepreneurs the DOs-and-DONTs, analysis and forecasts to succeed in funding their innovative venture.

The Life Sciences are among the most regulated industries. For key topics like quality affairs & regulatory affairs (QARA), health-economics & market access (HEMA), intellectual property (IP) or data regulation, we open the doors for your entrepreneurs about and guide them to recognized experts.

In our understanding, the growth is twofold : the start-up will grow by raising funds, recruiting, dealing with suppliers. and the entrepreneur will grow by transitioning from a scientist, healthcare practitioner into a well-rounded manager. ZEST supports these parallel, evenly important journeys.

90% of life sciences start-ups fail. They don’t fail because of their innovation, but because of management issues (the road was longer than expected, conflict between founders, talent shortage, …). ZEST is eager to learn from your failed incubated project and review if and how it may be revamped.
