ABOUT US

A Journey of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Strategikon is passionate about transforming clinical business operations. We are united in focus, mission and vision.

OUR STORY

Frustration Leads to Passion

Strategikon name comes from the little-known war strategy book, “Strategikon” by Byzantine emperor Maurice. Anca Copaescu, the company Founder, discovered it as a teenager and was deeply influenced by it. One line in the book particularly resonated with her: “Be ready to adapt to the unexpected, for nothing ever goes precisely as planned.” She took to heart the lesson that flexibility and resilience are vital when navigating unpredictable business challenges.

After years of witnessing the inefficiencies and challenges in clinical outsourcing and meeting many companies that experienced similar struggles, inefficiently working with Excel and generic tools to manage hundreds of millions of outsourced clinical contracts, Anca decided the industry deserves a better solution. Our entire team at Strategikon team is a visionary team, we are constantly thinking of how we can achieve the next level of innovation in clinical business operations and ultimately, through our collective effort and delivery of fit for purpose, intelligent solutions, accelerate study start-up and reduce the cost of clinical development, so that life-saving medicines can come to the hands of patients faster.

OUR MISSION

Strategikon mission is to revolutionize clinical business operations by delivering transformative technology solutions, that empower biopharmaceutical teams and their Service Provider partners to manage outsourcing, budgeting, and vendor relationships with unparalleled efficiency and transparency.

OUR VISION

The efficiencies come from setting new standards for clinical business operations teams that support simplicity, compliance, quality, transparency, and collaboration.

No other platform integrates all aspects of clinical business management—budgeting, sourcing, contracting, and vendor management—into one cohesive platform, reducing reliance on disparate tools like Excel and streamlining the entire workflow.

Next Level Benchmarking

Simply, DATA TROVE is the world’s largest service cost benchmarking database. The unique and powerful dataset has been uniquely acquired through our SOURCE engine and developed leveraging our proprietary methodologies for activity-based costing. Unlike any other solution, when PORTFOLIO and SOURCE and deployed jointly, sourcing events are super charged with benchmarking data for competitive market evaluation of proposals.

Your Data at Your Fingertips

Using the power of Artificial Intelligence and proprietary Data Models, Clinical Maestro goes beyond benchmarking, in unlocking your own “data gold” to create historical cost benchmarks. Cost data originating from signed contracts and stored in Excel and PDF is transformed, cleaned, standardized and digitize and can be re-injected in PORTFOLIO, enabling accurate cost assessments and effective budget negotiation, which current tools don’t support.
