Biotech Startup Consulting

From bench science to a fundable, fileable, buildable company.

Independent advisory for early-stage biotech founders — combining clinical medicine, biomedical engineering, and hands-on program management to move programs from concept to clinic without losing time or investor confidence.

The real bottleneck isn't regulation.

Ask most people where medtech projects get stuck, and they'll say regulation — FDA pathways, clinical trials, compliance. That's real, but it's rarely where things actually stall first.

In our experience, the harder barrier comes earlier: the space between having an idea and actually attempting to make it real. The overthinking. The what-ifs. The fear of taking a step you can't take back.

That's the gap Arakotis exists to close — not just with a plan, but with the encouragement and support to move through the uncertainty and actually start.

A rare mix of clinical, engineering, and operational fluency.

Arakotis was founded to close a gap most biotech startups feel early: brilliant science without the clinical framing, regulatory foresight, or program discipline to get it funded and built.

The firm is led by a founder trained as a physician and biomedical engineer, with hands-on project management experience running complex, cross-functional programs.
