Deep tech doesn’t fail in the lab. It fails in the gaps.

We close them. One compact team of scientists, strategists, operators and finance leads, carrying life-science and sustainability companies from the bench to the market.

The one-stop model

Stop assembling a team for every stage.
Hire one that covers all of them.

Ventures stall where the science meets the strategy, the regulator and the raise. We carry an idea across every one of those handovers: the same bench, the whole journey. You bring one objective, and we assemble the cross-functional team it actually needs (science, regulatory, commercial and finance) and nothing more.

Science Strategy Finance One team Platform Capital Market

Many specialisms in. One accountable team out.

  1. Idea & IP

    Concept validation, freedom-to-operate and the scientific case behind the venture.

  2. Prototype & platform

    Fractional CTOs and product leads take the science from lab bench to a working, defensible platform.

  3. Strategy & funding

    Business-model validation, investment cases from grant funding to growth rounds, and warm introductions to capital.

  4. Go-to-market

    Ideal-customer work, positioning and acquisition funnels that find and convert the right buyers.

  5. Scale & finance

    Fractional chartered accountants, cash-flow forecasting and the KPIs boards and investors trust.

Three pillars

Senior expertise, organised
the way ventures actually grow.

Science & Technology

From the bench to a defensible platform, led by people who have built deep tech before: fractional CTOs, product leads and engineers who have carried their own science to market.

  • Prototype-to-platform development
  • Fractional CTOs & product leadership
  • Assay, sensor & materials engineering
Bench → platform.

Strategy & Funding

The commercial spine: a credible plan, a fundable story, and the introductions to back it, from business-model validation through to the close.

  • Business-model validation
  • SEIS/EIS-ready investor decks
  • Angels, VCs & non-dilutive grants
Plan → capital.

Marketing & Finance

Demand and discipline: the right buyers found and converted, while the numbers stay board-ready behind them.

  • Ideal-customer profiles & funnels
  • Fractional chartered accountants
  • Cash-flow forecasts & KPI dashboards
Buyers → board.

Who we work with

Boutique by design.
Built for three kinds of client.

Ventures

Scaling life-science ventures

Seed-to-growth teams that need senior, part-time leadership across science, regulatory, commercial and finance, drawing on one bench instead of five separate firms.

Corporates

Mid-size & corporate R&D

External innovation, technology scouting and ESG programmes for established organisations, providing specialist firepower that plugs into your internal teams.

Investors

Investors & boards

Technical and commercial due diligence on deep-tech assets, led by specialists who have founded, funded and run science companies of their own.

Specialist divisions

Where the depth lives.

Life science Sustainability

Our deepest bench. We support drug and vaccine programmes from target validation through clinical strategy and regulatory submission, led by founders and scientists who have run real discovery programmes of their own.

Sustainability & ESG

Net zero isn’t a pledge.
It’s an operating plan.

Sustainability runs through everything we do, and stands alone for organisations that need a credible climate strategy: decarbonisation roadmaps, measurable targets and investor-grade reporting.

Venture capital raised

~$25M

Raised by NanoSyrinx, the University of Warwick synthetic-biology spin-out founded by network member Joseph Healey, with backing from leading deep-tech investors.

Peer-reviewed papers

67+

Authored by Iva Chianella, a Cranfield sensor-development specialist on our bench, alongside book chapters and granted patents.

In drug discovery

25+ yrs

Network output
Live network30+ specialists

These are the verifiable public track records of individual network members: roughly $25M raised by NanoSyrinx, founded by Joseph Healey; 67+ peer-reviewed papers by Cranfield biosensor specialist Iva Chianella; and 25+ years in drug discovery from Parminder Ruprah, a Kuano co-founder and former Takeda group leader. They show the expertise CCP convenes in its people, not a guarantee of outcomes for any engagement.
