About Kynetyk
Kynetyk works in the gap between what AI can do and what it actually does, with the companies trying to close it and with the companies building the tools to close it. We came to that work as operators, from inside the industries we serve.
Who we are
Josh has run biotechs as CEO and COO, and served as an executive in the CRO sector. He is a scientist by training, a PhD in biology who moved into data and learned to code in order to work with it, and he has spent his career leading teams where science, technology, and strategy meet.
Chad has led business operations in clinical-stage biotech and co-founded a therapeutics company. He has also led an organization-wide AI rollout, from evaluating tools to deploying off-the-shelf AI products and custom agents. His background is in finance and economics, and his work spans financial modeling, business infrastructure, and software development.
Together, we bring experience across science, finance, technology, and company leadership, and firsthand knowledge of what it takes to put a strategy into practice.
We did this inside our own companies first
Before we advised anyone on AI, we integrated it into biotechs we were running. That meant the unglamorous parts. Deciding which workflows were worth touching. Getting people to change how they worked. Finding out where the technology fell short of its pitch, and what had to change on the ground before it didn't.
Since then we have worked both sides of the market. With AI builders, on what to build, who buys it, and how to position against what already exists. With businesses buying AI, on where to focus, what a pilot has to prove, and what it takes to make a strategy stick once the pilot ends. Seeing both sides is what makes the advice specific: we know what vendors can actually deliver, and we know what a company has to change internally to get it.
Our research holds to the same standard. Where to Buy, Where to Build models the economics of AI across clinical development and maps what has been productized against what the technology could reach.
The name
It comes from "kinetic," the energy of things in motion. AI is most valuable when it is moving alongside people rather than replacing them or running in isolation.
