Growth Co-Investment means equity investment — it's part of what we offer, not our core business. This page is written for one situation only: the project is sound, and this particular stretch is cash-tight.
Growth Co-Investment is equity investment — taking part means we hold a stake in your project as an investor. It's part of what we offer, but it is not our core business; our core is GLP compliance validation and CDMO contract manufacturing, regardless of whether you take part in Growth Co-Investment.
Investment is never a condition of taking your work. If you don't need capital, standard fee-for-service applies — your quotation, schedule and scope stay exactly the same. This page exists for one reason: if you do hit a point where you need capital, we can step in as an investor.
Between validation and volume production there are stretches where spend is concentrated and revenue has not started. The technology is fine and the regulatory path is clear — it is only this stretch that binds.
Safety evaluation, registration testing and system inspection all land together, with no product revenue yet.
Tooling, fixtures and first material have to be funded up front; recovery waits until the product actually sells.
Distribution opens, and stock plus payment terms tie up cash at the same time — the faster it scales, the tighter it gets.
Bridging a gap rather than being forced to raise at a valuation you are not happy with.
If you don't need capital, standard engagement is already fee-for-service with no equity involved — no need to read further. Growth Co-Investment is specifically for projects with a genuine funding need, and comes in two forms:
Part of the service fee is discounted in exchange for a small equity stake, easing early cash outlay. Suited to teams whose technology is proven and who would rather not pay the full amount in cash at this stage. Discount and percentage are negotiated per project — worked out on paper before anyone commits.
Cash at an agreed valuation, for projects that have decided to bring in industrial capital and value being tied to manufacturing and channel resources. Valuation and terms are negotiated separately — being your contract manufacturer does not entitle us to preferential treatment.
If you are set on raising a round, we may well not be the right party — dedicated investors bring more capital and stronger follow-on networks. Our difference lies elsewhere:
It is validated and manufactured here, so technical risk and regulatory progress are visible to us — you are not rebuilding a diligence pack from scratch.
The stretch where an unfamiliar investor gets up to speed is already behind us — which is the part that matters when the need is immediate.
Alongside the money, production slots and channel access — for an early team, usually harder to buy than the money itself.
