Membership
If you're looking to elevate your leadership journey, gain access to proprietary content, and enjoy best in class learning tailored to the needs of niche life sciences communities - you have found your Searchlight. We bring together like-minded companies to engage in essential, collaborative, pre-competitive conversations to help them overcome the shared barriers to drug development success.
The Searchlight experience
Invite only
The most invested companies in a specific scientific area are invited to join, meeting virtually for 90 mins, between 4 and 6 times per year.
Champions
Discussions are led by one internal champion from each member company who has strategic oversight over its work in the scientific area.
Curated
To ensure maximum value, members are curated based on development stage (with those either in or close to the clinic having priority).
Problem solving
As experience sharing networks evolve, problem-solving workstreams are developed offering members the chance to involve colleagues.
Motivated
We work to ensure that the only members that join are those motivated by what can be shared rather than those defined by what can’t.
Diverse
Network membership increases each year to ensure participants continue to benefit from a broad diversity of perspectives from peers.
