How to build the right team for start-up success

How to build the right team for start-up success

One of the key ingredients to start-up success is a stellar management team. Attracting (and retaining) the right kind of talent is a challenge though, especially when trying to balance the skills and personalities of different individuals. Getting this balance right is key to a well-rounded and cohesive team that will let a company grow into its full potential. Here is our advice on some important factors to bear in mind when building a life sciences management team.

Unfortunately, no rules are set in stone when it comes to life sciences start-ups.

However, in our experience, there are there are some universal snippets of wisdom when building a management team.
