EurekaConnect Buyer Map

Curtis Sprouse | EurekaConnect | October 2026

As of 14 Oct 2026

EurekaConnect develops leaders and teams with validated behavioral assessments and data driven programs, and helps innovators from industry and academia bring life science ideas to market.

This map lays out the groups of organizations those buyers sit in across biomedical and life sciences, how large each group is where a clean public count exists, and who usually signs off inside each one.

Most groups here buy the leadership and team programs directly. The last group, investors, accelerators and incubators, is a referral route to founder teams rather than a buyer.

Where your buyers sit

Counts are US firms, not sites, and are banded on purpose. A group with no clean public count says so rather than showing a number.

US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.

Who usually signs off, by group

Titles vary with size. In a startup the founder or CEO holds most of these seats alone.

GroupWho usually signs offWho also weighs in
Drug, biologic and diagnostic makersThe CEO in smaller firms; the chief people officer or head of leadership development in larger onesCommercial and business development heads who sponsor a program for their own team
Biotech research and development companiesThe CEO or founder, often with the boardThe chief operating or chief business officer, and investors who sit on the board
Medical device makersThe CEO or president at mid-size firms; the chief people officer or VP of human resources at larger onesSales and marketing leaders who want stronger teams
Academic medical and research centersThe chief people officer or the head of faculty and leadership developmentDepartment chairs, research leaders and the office of the president
University innovation officesThe director of the innovation or technology transfer officeFaculty founders, the research office and entrepreneurship program leads
Investors, accelerators and incubatorsThe managing partner or program directorOperating partners who support founder teams in the portfolio

What each group is weighing

GroupWhat moves the decision
Drug, biologic and diagnostic makersScientists and sellers promoted into leading people, and teams that must work across functions on a launch
Biotech research and development companiesA founding team moving from the lab to a company, and the judgment investors watch before the next round
Medical device makersCommercial teams that have to move fast, and first time managers who were never taught to lead
Academic medical and research centersGrowing scientists and clinicians into leaders, and keeping teams steady under pressure
University innovation officesMoving more inventions from the lab to market, which takes founders who can lead
Investors, accelerators and incubatorsFounder teams that hold together under pressure, which protects the investment

How the decision usually runs

In a startup or a mid-size company the CEO usually decides, alone or with the board. The decision often turns on the leader seeing their own results first, then bringing the leadership team in.

In larger companies a business unit head or the people function sponsors a program for one team, and a good result there opens the door to the next team.

In academic centers and university offices a program is usually paid for from a leadership, faculty development or entrepreneurship budget, and the sponsor is the program director rather than the top of the institution.

Where to start

Open with the leader's own assessment

Your programs start with an individual assessment and a one on one review with a behavioral specialist. Offering that first step to a CEO or business unit head puts their own results in front of them before any team decision, and the team program follows from there.

Start with one team inside a large company

Your stories include sales, marketing and business development leaders at large drug makers. A program for one commercial team gives the people function a result inside its own walls, which is the route to the next team.

Reach founders through the people who already back them

The IBE certificate course already brings academic and early stage founders to you. University innovation offices, accelerators and life science investors meet the same founders every year, and a referral from them puts your assessment in front of a founding team early.

Built from public federal registries and the company's own website, counts banded deliberately.
