Company Description
Cromatic is an AI-enabled contract research procurement platform trusted by over 100 life science organizations.
Biotech and pharma companies rely on contract research and manufacturing organizations (CROs and CDMOs) to access specialized expertise and expand their capacity. Currently, the market cap of this space is estimated at around $85 billion. According to McKinsey & Company, spending on outsourced research has increased at twice the rate of in-house R&D over the last eight years. Based on this trend, experts project that the outsourced research market will grow to $240 billion by 2030.
Yet most biotech companies still rely on word of mouth to identify critical CRO partners—and manage these essential relationships through emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls.
That's where Cromatic comes in. We've built agentic workflows that match biotech project requirements with the capabilities of CROs and CDMOs worldwide.
We’re growing rapidly and are seeking a Director of Business Development to expand our commercial pipeline.
