We help
biotech founders
find the words.

We embed inside founder offices at the messy, high-stakes moments. TechBio launches. Series A. Board narratives. Keynote weeks.

Founders onboarded per quarter. That's the ceiling. On purpose.

§01 Mission
絆

There is a job inside a biotech company that nobody has named, until now.

Something is shifting in how biotech gets built. For a decade, founders with a narrative problem have been offered two options: hire an agency, or hire a consultant. Agencies execute. Consultants advise. Both sit outside the room.

But the moments that actually define a biotech company don't happen in a retainer call or a deliverable. They happen between the CEO and the CSO, in the conversations no one schedules, while they are still trying to figure out what they believe. That room is where narrative is actually made. Until now, no one was built to sit in it.

Read the full mission

embedded
NOT EXTERNAL.

§02.1

Inside your Slack. At the board meeting. Reviewing your deck the night before. An extension of the founder's desk, not an external supplier with a retainer and a roadmap.

§02.2

Agencies sell outputs. Fractional CMOs sell strategy decks. We sell proximity, the kind you only get from someone who has already lived the zero-to-one moment with you.

narrative
FIRST.

§03.1

Narrative is what makes the regulator, the investor, the scientist and the candidate all understand the same company. Once it is clear, everything downstream gets sharper. Without it, even the best press is noise.

§03.2

The Forbes feature. The keynote. The TechBio category line. The term sheet language. The recruiting page that actually converts. Same narrative, different surfaces. Sometimes we lead the press work ourselves. More often, we hand a clear narrative to a press partner who can take it from there.

brands
FOUNDERS FIRST.

§04.1

In early biotech, the company is the founder. Their worldview, their hill, their bet. We sharpen the founder's voice until the company's voice appears underneath it, not the other way around.

§04.2

This is why we cap at two founders per quarter. Two is how deep we go. Two is how real the bond gets. 絆.

§05 Currently in the room with
Berlin · AI biotech

Working closely with the founders on positioning and narrative ahead of a Series A and a strategic pivot. Translating complex science, deep ambition and precise timing into a clear, shared narrative the whole team can carry.

In a tangled time, clarity is the edge.
The phrase that opened our first Pheiron workshop, and the spirit of every engagement since.
Luca Bárdió, founder of Kizuna
§06 The founder

Luca Bárdió.

Since February, building Kizuna full-time. Embedded with biotech founders on the narrative, positioning and communication that decide the next round. The work happens with the founders, not for them. Workshops, sparring, long whiteboard sessions, the conversations where the founder finally finds the words for what they actually believe.

Before Kizuna, I led PR and Comms at Turbine, the AI biotech virtualizing biological experiments for drug discovery. Worked closely with the CEO and the founding team on press strategy, executive positioning, and the narrative behind partnership announcements with AstraZeneca and MSD. Tier-one coverage in Fierce Biotech and Endpoints. JPM Week, AACR, ESMO. Built Wake Up with Turbine, the flagship JPM brand event, with 470 registrations.

Before biotech, I founded and scaled one of Hungary's most successful NGOs, supporting families with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD and Down Syndrome. After scaling it, I handed off day-to-day operations and now serve as Chair of the Board. Forbes 30 Under 30 Hungary. Background in health policy and economics.

If that sounds like the kind of bond you're looking for, let's talk.
