Industry data show that drug discovery and development can take 12-15 years.  It is an extremely complex multi-layered process that always seems to have just one more step. 

Patients and parents in the rare disease community just want to get the treatments they desperately need as quickly as possible.   

If you are one of those patients or parents, you are looking for shortcuts, hacks, and disruptions to shorten that time horizon.  On the one hand, your lack of familiarity may give you fresh eyes and free you from conventional wisdom. On the other hand, if you do not understand the whole process, each new obstacle forces you to learn on the fly. You may find yourself in a “pay me now or pay me later” scenario making decisions today that slow you down in the future. 

You probably wish you could learn faster than the process unfolds. 

Drug discovery and development consist of multiple layers filled with dependencies, hidden risks, and changing policies. It is more like a transportation system with land, sea, and air routes for various activities. Maybe this is why whenever you thought you understood how to find and develop treatments, there is something new to learn.

Imagine a place you can go to see the big picture and drill down to the details you need today. We are building that place.
