Aligning on values and then expressing them in a manner that resonates with each of us is essential to engage the hearts of the GSD Team and instil a sense of security.

Building Business-Model Adjacencies, That Actually Scale

GSD Health helps pharmaceutical companies design and build adjacent businesses that strengthen the core, unlock new revenue, and create durable competitive advantage.

We don’t run pilots for the sake of innovation.

We build real businesses around the molecule.

Anchor on the Core Pharma Asset

We start with the profit engine, not the solution.

We analyze:

  • Where value is created and captured today

  • What threatens that value tomorrow

  • How the molecule or franchise can be amplified through services, data, or platforms

Adjacencies are designed to reinforce and extend the value of the drug, not distract from it.

Build Using Venture Logic, Not Corporate Compromise

We apply venture-building and investment discipline to adjacency creation.

This includes:

  • Venture studios, joint ventures, and minority investments

  • Ring-fenced governance to enable speed and accountability

  • Clear success metrics, scale thresholds, and kill criteria

  • Structures that attract external talent and partners

The result is faster learning, lower risk, and assets that can scale.

Focus on Credible Adjacency Spaces

We work only in adjacency spaces where pharmaceutical companies have or can build a structural right to win, including:

  • Therapy-anchored services and disease management

  • Diagnostics and early identification pathways

  • Real-world evidence and data businesses

  • Care enablement and workflow infrastructure

  • Outcomes-based and value-linked commercial models

  • Chronic disease ecosystems and platforms

Engineer Adjacencies to Multiply Core Value

The strongest adjacencies act as force multipliers for the core asset.

They:

  • Improve adherence and persistence

  • Enhance real-world outcomes

  • Generate proprietary, molecule-linked data

  • Create durable ecosystem lock-in

Our north star is simple:

Does this make the core asset more valuable, more defensible, or harder to replace?

Design the Business Model Before the Product

Before anything is built, we define:

  • Who the customer is and who pays

  • Revenue and pricing mechanics

  • Cost structure, scalability, and margin profile

  • Regulatory and compliance implications

  • Integration with commercial, medical, and market access teams

This ensures every adjacency has a clear path to revenue, scale, and ownership.

Design for Global Scale from Day One

We pressure-test every adjacency against:

  • Multi-market reimbursement realities

  • Regulatory variation

  • IT and data interoperability

  • Commercial adoption friction

  • Optionality for spin-out, partnership, or independent growth

If it can’t scale beyond a single market or franchise, it doesn’t pass.

01 Capture and Clarify

We create a blueprint that works for you

We understand there is never a one-size-fits-all and ensure you can be stubborn with your goals, but flexible with the approach.

02 Set Your Time Goals

We co-develop objectives & key results

We define objectives that are significant, concrete, action-oriented, and (ideally) inspirational for your business and deliver on that.

Whatever your OKRs, we break those goals down into steps and prioritise to reduce distractions. We help you see what you actually accomplished.

We create actionable steps for visible results.

03 Execute the Plan

04 Making it Sustainable

We work pragmatically but with focus. We respect your time and ours, and we use it efficiently & effectively.

Time is a valuable commodity.
