Best Practices

Scaling a life science venture is rarely straightforward and best practices are often hidden in the daily decisions, documents, and hacks teams create along the way. This section is a growing collection of practical tools, templates, and shared know-how designed to support founders, executives, and boards as they scale with intent.

Some of these resources are polished templates. Others are simple frameworks, team rituals, or forms pulled from real-world operations. Whether it’s a new hire planning checklist, a board evaluation template, or a smart workaround from a quality assurance manual—these contributions reflect what’s actually working inside scaleups.

To start, you’ll find:

• A Board Evaluation Template to support structured, objective board assessments
• A New Hire Planning Template to help align expectations and accelerate onboarding

This library will continue to grow as more input and feedback turns into shared resources. It’s a living space for scaling knowledge, continuously shaped by the experiences of those doing the work.

Do you have something worth sharing? It could be:

• A section from your People Handbook
• A QA process form or checklist
• A hiring rubric, onboarding ritual, or internal alignment doc
• Even just a repeatable process you’ve hacked together that works

Your contribution doesn’t have to be perfect. If it’s been useful in your organization, there’s a good chance it can inspire or support others in the life science scale-up space.

All submissions will be anonymized by default and reviewed before publication. Whether your input becomes a featured resource or simply sparks a new best practice through further development, it’s still part of a valuable collective effort.

Sometimes the idea itself – no matter how raw – is enough to get the ball rolling.

👉 If you have something to contribute or even just a thought worth exploring then please share it here.

Let’s build this resource together, one real-life lesson at a time.
