Based in the vibrant biotech ecosystem of San Francisco, I specialize in securing funding for innovative startups, pharmaceutical companies, nonprofit research foundations, and scientific researchers. Operating independently, I spend my time crafting grant proposals (NIH R01s, SBIR/STTRs), white papers, slide decks, conference materials, and all else necessary to help ensure my clients’ message resonates with high profile investors and funding agencies.In my first few years as a postdoctoral fellow at a leading neuroscience lab, I secured millions for cutting-edge research. While fundraising posed a challenge for many of my peers, I thrived when tasked with raising capital—jumping at the chance to transform complex research into compelling narratives—and have been hooked ever since!To discuss growth strategies in more detail, and figure out next steps regarding securing funding opportunities, DM me here or email me at melanie@consult-brainwaves.com to schedule a discovery call. I look forward to getting to know your business and communication objectives and forming a strategic partnership that aligns with your vision.
