Find the right asset, then bring it in cleanly.

PharmaSync helps biotech and pharma buyers translate pipeline gaps into a search thesis, surface external innovation, pressure-test the asset package, and negotiate rights that fit long-term strategy – quietly, and under NDA.

What we deliver

A search built around your therapeutic thesis.

We define what good looks like before we go to market, so the assets you see are the ones worth your committee’s time.

01

Target profile

We convert pipeline gaps into a precise brief – stage, mechanism, modality, geography, economics, and the risk you are willing to carry.

02

Asset sourcing

We work public listings, proprietary relationships, and programs that are not yet formally marketed, measured against the thesis rather than what happens to be available.

03

Scientific diligence

We interrogate data quality, translational rationale, clinical comparability, IP position, regulatory route, and CMC readiness – not the summary deck.

04

Deal execution

We shape valuation, term design, negotiation, and internal materials through to a signed term sheet your board can stand behind.

Why PharmaSync

Senior judgment where early errors get expensive.

01

Reach without noise

Relationships across company, academic, investor, and regional ecosystems mean we hear about assets early – and approach them discreetly.

02

Data fluency

Review that goes past summary slides and tests the underlying package, so risk is priced before it surprises you.

03

Partner-led throughout

The people who scope the mandate are the people in the room at close. Counterparty contact stays deliberate and confidential.

Process

How an in-licensing mandate runs.

01

Define

Search thesis, must-have criteria, decision process, and internal alignment before any market contact.

02

Screen

Longlist, evidence screen, counterparty readiness, and a scored shortlist of diligence-ready candidates.

03

Diligence

Data-room review, specialist input, valuation range, and the structure options that fit the remaining risk.

04

Negotiate

Offer package, term sheet, governance points, and support through to signature.

Diligence framework

Six lenses on every asset.

01

Mechanism

Biological rationale, differentiation, and the confidence that the science translates beyond the model.

02

Clinical evidence

Endpoint quality, population fit, safety signal, and how the comparator stacks up against standard of care.

03

Regulatory path

Agency precedent, data gaps, and the assumptions baked into the approval route.

04

CMC

Manufacturing maturity, transferability, quality systems, and supply continuity.

05

IP and rights

Ownership, encumbrances, scope, field restrictions, and freedom to operate.

06

Economics

Risk-adjusted value, milestone design, royalty load, and the real impact on your budget.

Geography desks

Where we source, in the regions that matter.

Asia and China-origin assets

Partner discovery, data translation, and rights review for programs moving toward Western buyers – handled with the cultural fluency the corridor requires.

Europe and UK

Academic spinouts, specialty pharma assets, and clinical networks with credible global expansion potential.

United States

Biotech, platform, and pharma-originated programs in markets where appetite and competition move fast.

In-licensing, answered.

Can you source assets that are not formally marketed?
Yes. A meaningful share of strong opportunities begin through direct relationships rather than a public process. That is where the search thesis and our network earn their keep.
Do you run scientific diligence in-house?
We own the diligence framework and lead the review. When a question demands deeper domain expertise, we bring in vetted specialists under the same confidentiality terms.
How early should we engage you?
Before the search begins. Defining the thesis and decision process up front avoids wasted diligence cycles and keeps your intent off the market’s radar.
Can you support our investment committee materials?
Yes. We prepare asset summaries, risk registers, valuation support, and term rationale tailored to internal decision-makers.
How do you protect confidentiality during a search?
Every mandate is NDA-first. Counterparty contact is deliberate and staged, and your identity and intent are disclosed only when it serves the deal.
