Emma Bardsley, PhD — Co-Founder
Your CRM has thousands of contacts. Your team sends hundreds of emails. You attend conferences and run webinars. But you don't actually know → If you have full coverage of your market → Which contacts are worth calling this week → When they're ready to buy → How to keep your data fresh That's the problem we solve. 👋 I'm Emma Bardsley, PhD I run Arcova, where we build intelligence and automation systems for life sciences sales teams. Here's what we do differently: Instead of throwing more leads at your team, we help you prioritize the ones that will actually close. 🟦 Intelligence: We map your market and prioritize who matters 🟦 Signals: Track when they’re ready (funding rounds, hiring, clinical milestones, social engagement) 🟦 Automation: Trigger multichannel outreach sequences at the right time 🟦 Integration: Connect it all in your CRM The result? ↳ Your team stops guessing and starts closing. ↳ Less time researching, more time in qualified conversations. Why clients trust us: Before Arcova, I worked in consulting, pharma, and academia (PhD Oxford, Postdoc Auckland) Over the past 4 years at Arcova, I've helped biotechs, health startups, and PE firms turn data into decisions that drive growth. "She helped out both strategically and in a hands-on capacity. In addition to driving a great result, a variety of stakeholders loved Emma, and couldn't stop telling me how amazing she was. Get her on your team as soon as you have a chance!" If you're leading sales, BD, or partnerships in life sciences and you're tired of operating on gut feel: Let's talk 💙 📩 emma@arcova.bio
