Fractional leadership

“Good help is hard to find”, they say. In early-stage companies at the beginning of their commercialization journey, good help is not only hard to find, it is simply not financially feasible. We at JLSC understand and want to address this fundamental challenge. To do so, we offer seasoned executives and start-up hardened entrepreneurs who offer flexible time commitments allowing you to tap into sector leading experience. Leaders who know how to roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty, and build a business from the ground up. If this is a challenge that you are having at your early-stage company, we encourage you to reach out for a conversation.

Business Development and Licensing (BD&L)

BD&L can be a critical path to successful commercialization but when is the right time to partner and where do you find interested parties? JLSC works with clients to identify ideal strategic partners and leverages our relationships to introduce and move deals forward at the optimal time in your company’s development. Our extensive network enables a full and targeted outreach to multinationals who are looking to bolster their pipeline all the way through to earlier stage companies looking for strategic fit with a smaller portfolio. Or perhaps you are a life sciences company outside of Canada and are looking for a Canadian partner to help commercialize your portfolio here as a low-risk entry point into North America. Whatever the case, if a business development or licensing deal are in your future, give us a call.

Market Assessments

Canada can be an important add-on to an existing global expansion plan or can serve as a safer entry point into the North American market. Either way, we have you covered. JLSC’s expertise includes market assessments for Candain market entry, securing strategic partners, building strategic plans, developing commercialization road maps and guiding their execution. We have worked in therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, and OTC in a variety of therapeutic areas. If Canada might be of interest as part of your global commercialization plans, let's have a chat.
