LifeSci Capital is a global capital markets firm evaluating high-growth opportunities in healthcare and life sciences. Their research informs high-value investment decisions, under intense time pressure. Missing a timeline can mean lost credibility with internal stakeholders and lost market opportunities. With a lean team and growing demand, they needed a faster, more dependable way to source relevant experts.
The Challenge
Traditional expert networks were slowing them down.
Working with traditional expert networks was starting to feel like a gamble. Every new request meant rebriefing a rep, waiting days for expert profiles, and hoping that at least one would fit. Often, they received profiles clearly recycled from other projects, and analysts had to speak to multiple experts just to find one with genuine value. At other times, they’d wait a week for a call that delivered little substance - yet internal expectations remained high regardless of vendor performance. The problem was clear.
“Our previous vendor couldn’t match Techspert’s depth of database or specialist coverage. With our last provider, timelines stretched for weeks - Techspert moves in hours and days.” 
Rami - Managing Director
Quality was inconsistent. Conversations often fell flat. Associates built backup plans knowing many calls wouldn’t meet the bar. Communication was reactive and fragmented - teams spent hours chasing updates, clarifying briefs, and refreshing inboxes waiting for updates.
It was clear that something needed to change. LifeSci Capital needed a partner who could consistently deliver high-caliber experts against niche briefs - fast - while removing the operational burdens that slowed down every project.
The Solution
A faster, sharper, more targeted way to source expertise.
Switching to Techspert gave LifeSci Capital a new approach. Instead of relying on static panels or generic lists, Techspert built each search from scratch - using AI to pinpoint relevant profiles and human vetting to ensure quality. This meant even highly specific disease areas could be covered quickly and with precision.
“If we say, ‘We want to do a project in X, can you find me experts?’ You will find at least 10–12, and they’re at a level I have come to expect from Techspert.”
From the start, the quality of experts raised the bar. The team no longer had to settle for generalists or second-best matches. Calls quickly became more focused and useful, helping analysts get to the heart of the brief faster.
LifeSci Capital also needed fewer of those calls. Previously, they might have run ten interviews just to find two worth acting on. With Techspert, around half that number consistently delivered sharper insights. As Rami put it, "the calibre of KOLs we reach through Techspert is a clear cut above any other network. We don't need ten interviews any more; around half, laser-matched experts from Techspert give us far richer insight."
Communication was smoother too. Instead of LifeSci Capital chasing for updates, Techspert's project managers kept the team informed before they even had to ask. Analysts described the experience as collaborative and low effort - more like working with colleagues than an external vendor.
The benefits extended well beyond recruitment. Techspert’s research platform cut down post-call admin dramatically. Transcripts were automatically generated, call summaries highlighted key points, and a searchable call library allowed analysts to revisit past conversations and pull out the insights they needed - freeing up time for higher-value work.
“The searchable call library is a gold mine, it’s worth its weight in billable hours. The built-in AI summarizes each call, so our analysts start with insight, and reminds me of interesting titbits I wouldn’t even be focusing on—it’s like having a second set of eyes."
