Ops Up or Flame Out: From Duct Tape to Scalable Systems in Life Sciences Startups

Written by University Lab Partners | Jun 6, 2025 9:24:40 PM

Did you know 55% of startups that fail blame operational inefficiencies? 

Biotech breakthroughs demand more than brilliant science—they need bulletproof operations. If you’re scaling a startup in life sciences and still holding things together with duct tape and late nights, it’s time to level up. Because chaos kills momentum—and weak ops kill companies.

This workshop is your tactical guide to building the operational backbone that fuels predictable growth, kills bottlenecks, and keeps your team focused on what really moves the needle.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to build scalable ops systems that grow with your team
  • Where your biggest bottlenecks hide—and how to eliminate them
  • How to design workflows that don’t depend on meetings or memory
  • The Scale Ops Flywheel
  • Smart automation strategies for regulated environments
  • How to create swim lanes, set outcomes, and lead without micromanaging
  • A 30-day playbook to streamline, scale, and stop putting out fires

This is the no-BS guide to turning your startup from reactive chaos into a revenue-driving machine.
