Outside of the Lab: Get More Hours Back, Get More Research Done

You didn’t start a biotech or life sciences company to work in procurement. Your vision is to cure disease, develop breakthrough solutions, and explore the frontiers of science. So why spend valuable hours ordering lab supplies, chasing backorders, and managing paperwork instead of moving your research forward?
Time and Money: The Hidden Expense of Startup Procurement
For startup founders, every minute spent placing reagent orders, negotiating with suppliers, or tracking delayed shipments is a minute taken away from raising capital, advancing research, or building a world-class team. Instead of accelerating innovation, procurement often slows it down.
The costs of handling procurement internally add up quickly:
- Hours spent on hold with customer service when you could be running experiments or meeting investors
- Higher prices because startups lack the purchasing power of large pharmaceutical companies and research universities
- Research delays caused by unexpected backorders
- Endless paperwork, vendor registrations, invoice reconciliation, and administrative tasks
These challenges are far more than everyday inconveniences. They consume your attention, increase operating costs, and shorten your runway. More importantly, every hour you recover and every dollar you save can go directly back into your science.
A Co-Pilot for Your Biotech Procurement
Imagine having the supplies your lab needs arrive on time, at competitive prices, without spending your day managing orders. That’s exactly what Mission Booster Procurement delivers.
We provide fully managed procurement services for biotech startups and emerging life sciences organizations. Because we built our service from a founder’s perspective, we understand the pressures you face every day. You submit your order, and our team manages everything else, including vendor communication, backorders, returns, and invoice reconciliation.
Rather than selling software you must learn, we become an extension of your team. As a result, you spend less time on operations and more time advancing your research.
What Mission Booster Procurement Delivers
You Stay in Control
You decide what your company purchases. We never place an order without your approval. If we identify a cost-saving opportunity, we contact you first and proceed only after you approve the change.
Lower Supply Costs
Our pooled purchasing network includes more than 150 supplier agreements. Because we negotiate across a large purchasing volume, we secure pricing that most startups cannot access independently. Consequently, our customers save an average of 30% off list prices.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing stays simple. We charge a straightforward 5-10% administrative fee per order. There are no subscriptions, monthly commitments, or licensing fees. If you don’t place an order, you don’t pay.
More Time for Science
Most founders can submit an order in just one or two minutes. After that, we manage the entire procurement process. Therefore, you regain valuable time to focus on experiments, fundraising, hiring, and other critical milestones.
More Than Purchasing Supplies
Mission Booster Procurement goes beyond placing orders.
We manage backorders, coordinate returns, organize documentation, and reconcile invoices for accounting and regulatory purposes. Additionally, our team works closely with suppliers to resolve issues quickly, so your lab experiences fewer interruptions. This comprehensive approach helps modern biotech companies operate more efficiently while maintaining accuracy, speed, and reliability.
The Real Return: More Runway and Faster Research
The true cost of procurement extends beyond supplier invoices. Every hour spent resolving purchasing issues represents lost scientific progress, delayed fundraising, or postponed milestones.
However, outsourcing procurement delivers measurable returns.
One pre-seed biotech company saved $68,733.15, recovered more than 70 founder hours annually, and extended its financial runway by an additional six months. As a result, the team invested more time in science and fundraising while reducing overall burn.
Likewise, a larger life sciences company saved more than $1,166,118.29 in a single year. As organizations grow, those savings continue to scale.
Today, companies within the Mission Booster ecosystem report an 89-95% success rate and have collectively raised more than $900 million. We built Mission Booster Procurement to support breakthrough science. Every dollar saved and every hour recovered strengthens your mission. Instead of letting operational work slow your progress, you can invest those resources directly into discovery, product development, and commercialization.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
We offer transparent, usage-based pricing. You pay only a 5-10% administrative fee for each order you place. There are no subscription fees, licensing costs, or hidden charges. Additionally, we waive the administrative fee during your first month so you can experience the service before paying.
Do I give up control over purchasing?
No. You remain in complete control of every purchase. We serve as your procurement co-pilot, not your decision-maker. You tell us what you need, and we source it, negotiate pricing, and manage fulfillment. We never substitute products or place orders without your approval.
How quickly can orders be placed?
We process most orders the same day. In addition, we provide responsive support through email, text, and phone to help prevent procurement delays from interrupting your research.
Is this service only for startups?
No. Our model supports organizations across every stage of growth. Whether you’re a pre-seed founder managing every operational task yourself or a growth-stage company purchasing more than $100,000 in lab supplies each month, our team helps improve procurement efficiency and reduce operating costs.
How can you save us so much money?
We leverage the combined purchasing volume of our customer network and our relationships with more than 150 suppliers. Because of this scale, we negotiate pricing that individual startups typically cannot obtain on their own. Consequently, you benefit from significant savings while improving purchasing efficiency.
