I am an MD with more than 18 years of drug development experience. Would love to provide clinical development and scientific consulting to startups or investing companies as a side role. Does anyone has any thoughts on how to begin? I have never done it, but will like to explore that path.

I would start by signing up to be a KOL for an expert network or some other gig where u can be exposed to the questions/though process that investors/biotech management have. The time commitment isn’t huge but it should give u good exposure to understanding how professionals in the space evaluate investment opportunities from a medical/scientific perspective.

@ClearView H P1 could you share info about the new London office?

Multiple firms operating model is to have a core group of consultants and then a series of advisers who selectively participate in projects. It may be worth exploring firms like Alacrita, Axxelis, Vivactis.
