Get in before the shortlist.

Every account is matched against your own ICP and rated Hot, Warm, Cool, or Cold on fit and intent.
Act
A recommended next step surfaces automatically — reach out this week, add to nurture, or prep a bid defense.
Signal detection
Pulls daily from ClinicalTrials.gov, SEC EDGAR Form D, OpenFDA, and FDA regulatory announcements to flag sponsors matching your ICP before they show up at a conference.
Bid defense prep
One packet per sponsor meeting: the account's signal history, your own notes, and the capability videos you choose, assembled from what's already in the system.
Works with the tools you already use
Shortlist Bio doesn't replace your CRM — it feeds it. Start with HubSpot today, with Outlook, Gmail, and Slack connections coming next.
Every account moves through the same six stages. Shortlist Bio just tells you when to move it.
Stop losing sponsors to whoever called first.
Request a demoOne system for finding, scoring, and winning sponsors.
Most Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and Contract Research Organization (CRO) business development teams track sponsors in a spreadsheet or a generic CRM with no pharma-specific fields — no trial phase, no modality, no regulatory context. Shortlist Bio replaces both with one system built around how outsourced development, manufacturing, and research sales actually works.
Signal ingestion
Pulls every morning from ClinicalTrials.gov, SEC EDGAR/Form D, OpenFDA, and FDA regulatory announcements — tagged by category, therapeutic area, trial phase, and source, with a link back to the original record.
Daily refresh
Signals and conference data refresh once daily around 8am EST and are cached. Searching or browsing your account list never triggers a live external call.
Account scoring
Every sponsor account carries a fit score, an intent score, and a combined Hot / Warm / Cool / Cold rating, built from how closely the sponsor matches your ICP (company type, modality, therapeutic area, development stage, and services needed) and how recent its funding, regulatory, hiring, and conference signals are.
ICP configuration
Set your own target company types, modalities, therapeutic areas, development stages, and services offered — new accounts and signals are scored against it automatically.
Bid defense prep
Before a sponsor meeting, pull together the account's signal history, your notes, and the capability videos you pick into a single printable packet.
Capability showcase
A video library tagged by modality, turnaround time, and bioreactor scale, ready to add to a bid defense packet or copy as a link into outreach.
Conference tracking
See which upcoming industry conferences your target accounts are exhibiting at or speaking at, curated from public exhibitor and speaker lists — so outreach happens before the show floor, not during it.
Integrations
