Landscape scanning

Our knowledge of the Cell and Gene Therapy landscape can help you identify investment targets that are well-aligned with your portfolio objectives.

Teach-ins

Message optimization and market positioning

Our unique combination of deep technical expertise and investor relations experience allows us to provide a candid assessment of your program and strategic planning for an optimal ‘pitch.’

Needs assessment/market research

Our unmatched experience in this industry means that we have a deeper understanding of existing offerings and competitive environments than your company can get anywhere else. An informed assessment of market needs gets far beyond the buzzwords and the latest trends, considering instead the long-term trajectory for future therapies and the tools & tech necessary to create those therapies. Having watched this industry for decades, we’ve also seen a range of typical pitfalls and oversights and are equipped to help you avoid those.

Voice-of-customer (VOC) surveys

Knowing the right questions to ask is the secret to getting actionable survey results that speak specifically to your product and the market. Dark Horse experts have more combined years of experience in the CGT field than any other consulting practice; in fact, many of us have been in the space since the very beginning. There is no substitute for direct experience and meaningful connections when building a survey or a set of respondents.
