People are the key to workplace excellence. If you give HR knowledge and time to work with people, they can build the kind of culture, policies, and people practices that set entire organizations free to be better at what they do. And when you give employees the power to help themselves, they feel more valued and capable as contributors rather than simple assets. BambooHR is designed to do both. That’s what makes us different.

As part of the OxSciences portfolio, BambooHR can offer us a significant discount of only $3.90 PEPM as well as implementation discounts depending on your on company size and needs

Strategic IP advice across the full gamut of Intellectual Property, from Trade Secrets to Patents and Trade Marks. Our sweet-spot is Spin-Outs and SMEs as we really enjoy working with founders and inventors to use IP to build and retain the value in their ideas. We do all the normal patent and trade mark attorney jobs like filing, prosecuting and defending or opposing IP Rights. Where we think that we are different is that we like to work in close partnership with you, take time to understand your business and bring a novel range of products and services to bear to get you up to speed and investible as quickly as possible. We have in the past done a lot of Due Diligence and now use those insights to get you ready in advance for those inevitable questions (and they are often the same each time). In terms of novel products, we provide IP Roadmaps, Competitor Watches, Costs Models, Trade Secrets systems and policies, and advise on the IP aspects of legal agreements. As an example of the strategic approach we bring to bear, we often get asked the question: “ Can I patent this?” but to us that is only half the question – the more important one from a strategic point of view is: “Should I patent this?” and so we are not afraid to say to you: “No, I don’t think that you should patent this, because it is not a good return on investment for the following reasons……”. An area at which we think we excel is in in working with Spin-Outs that have some IP licensed in from OUI. As we are not on OUI’s panel, we are free to work directly for Spin outs to help them make strategic IP decisions, manage their licensed IP, develop their own IP, and set them up with records systems, training, policies and data rooms. We are always happy to have an informal chat - drop us a note or give us a call!

I will happily spend a day (without charge) getting to know you and your business to see if there is a match and give you some pointers. Our approach and fee structure is that we are not out to wring every pound we can out of our clients, but instead look to build long-term relationships and grow with them - your success is ours!

VenturePOps is an HR and Recruiting consultancy focused on projects with early-stage companies. They can work on an embedded or contingent model, depending on client need. How is VenturePOps different to a typical consultancy? Their consultants have true start up operating expertise and they help with both people strategy and execution. They take small equity stakes as part of their charge model, enduring they've got skin in the game/aligned incentives with their clients and can thus continue providing support post-engagement. Kevin (Founder) has worked with industry giants such as Google, where he spent seven years leading a team of tech recruiters. He has also worked with smaller start-ups like TrialSpark, where he was head of talent. In the four years he was there, he scaled the company from 15 people to 170 and helped increase the valuation from $60M to $1B. Email hello@venturepops.com to learn more!

We will deduct 10% off our typical charge for OxSciences portfolio companies.
