### Testimonials

Science Exchange is a real value-add to a growing biotech startup. Three words that describe my experience with them: satisfaction, satisfaction, satisfaction.

Ethan Perlstein, PhD

With a scalable solution that has continued to support our growth, Science Exchange seamlessly integrated into our operation and has driven significant cost and time savings. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Eli Berlin, Co-Founder, Terray Therapeutics

Working with Science Exchange has been a truly amazing experience and I would without pause recommend all early stage labs work with you for lab management.

Andrea Mazzocchi, PhD, CEO, Known Med

When I sold Distributed Bio and started my next company Centivax, Science Exchange was one of the first people I called. I recommend a Virtual Lab Manager for any biotech startup.

Jacob Glanville, PhD, Founder/CEO, Centivax

It has been a great experience working with Science Exchange. Yesterday, another company at MBC asked me about my experience with Science Exchange and the only thing I could say is that I had the best experience.

Elena Silva, Scientist

I just wanted to send a quick thank you for your support this week confirming ETAs, tracking, and general updates. While I know it is your job, I still appreciate the effort and the level of service you provide to Geltor.

S. Shreve, Lab Manager

Science Exchange has been a vital part of how we've been able to get Arbor up and running in an efficient, cost-effective, and well-supported manner. We would be more than happy to recommend other startups your way.

Winston Yan, Founder, Arbor Biotechnologies

## The mission is science. Not administration.

Every hour lost to friction is an hour a program doesn’t move forward. Science Exchange removes that friction for every team that touches R&D — not by making the current process faster, but by replacing what was never fit for purpose in the first place.
