Investor Relations
An emerging biotech developing a menin inhibitor sought to expand its program through combination strategies with established incretin therapies. Early preclinical studies pairing menin inhibition with semaglutide demonstrated that dual targeting of β-cell regeneration and incretin signaling could deliver deeper, more durable glycemic control than either mechanism alone. The challenge was to communicate this synergy credibly—to investors, clinicians, and partners—without overstating preliminary data or diluting the mechanistic distinction that gave each pathway its value.

Situation
Approach
We built a value communications framework that clarified why the combination mattered scientifically and commercially. The narrative linked molecular synergy to patient-level and market-level differentiation, articulating how β-cell restoration complements GLP-1–driven glucose control to potentially extend durability of effect. For investor audiences, we reframed the story around category expansion—positioning the combination as a potential next wave in metabolic innovation rather than a marginal add-on. Publications, congress abstracts, and KOL briefings emphasized translational rigor, while corporate decks connected mechanistic promise to pipeline and partnership optionality.

Results
By aligning scientific and investor storytelling, the company elevated understanding of its combination strategy as both a biologically rational and economically compelling advance in type 2 diabetes. This clarity strengthened credibility ahead of partnering discussions and provided investors with a grounded, data-anchored view of long-term differentiation and value creation.
