TYD stands for tijd, the Dutch word for time. In biotech, time is the one resource leadership cannot create more of. We invest ours to ensure the most important conversations happen when they matter, not in a less demanding week that never comes.

Our promise Your BD partner

Six disciplines. One continuous conversation.

Deal-making rarely follows a straight line. We guide every stage from the first conversation through to a signed term sheet, while maintaining flexibility across parallel tracks.

An extension of your team.

Owner-operated, no junior layers. Every conversation is led by a partner who has closed deals in the life sciences sector.

01

Strategic positioning

From science to medicine, translating your research into a clear value proposition and a credible competitive edge.

02

The right people, first

A global network built over years of conversations and travel. We open doors to the right champions that can drive our conversation forward.

03

Negotiations

We guide term-sheet and deal negotiations with you and your counsel, focused on the outcomes that matter for your growth.

04

Live feedback loop

Full visibility on every discussion, giving you a clear view of where each opportunity stands and what the market is telling us.

05

No overhead. Just expertise.

A boutique by design. No staff between you and the partner on your deal, which is exactly why we can move at your speed.
