The Princeton corridor is a pharma R&D, biotech, and scientific research market with a strong university presence and a long history of corporate research campuses. Companies are science-led, milestone-funded, and often small relative to their scientific ambition. Fractional executives supply the commercial, financial, and operating structure between milestones.

- Strategic planning is ad hoc and off-cycle
- You are entering a new market or product line
