What Our Clients Have Achieved with Wellspring

Licensing


Negotiated a multi-million Euro vaccine development and licence agreement to develop new blue tongue vaccines, and a separate major licence with a South African partner.

Startups


Worked with a leading Australian government research organisation to form a new commercial venture based on our proposed business plan, valuation, and advice on the optimal commercial strategy for a novel high-fibre barley grain for food use.

Collaborations


Helped a leading UK University to realise collaborations with leading AgTech companies for their in vitro screening system to identify novel herbicide candidates. Our full market & IP analysis and commercial route map also helped to secure internal and external translational funding for further technology development.

Business Growth


Multiyear contract during which our client almost doubled in size. Wellspring advised on operations and the strategic growth of a market access company focused on rare and severe disease medicines for mid- and large-pharma clients.

"In a small number of weeks my company was able to greatly increase our intelligence in a new market and inform our strategy going forward. I found my interactions with Wellspring to be some of the best I have had in my 30+ years in the business. The final outcome exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend others consider Wellspring as a partner in their programs.”
