“VFP’s attention to detail is second to none. Their commitment to maintaining an efficient, safe, and strategically run lab and facility has been a tremendous asset—allowing us to focus more on science and less on operations. It’s clear they care deeply about getting it right.”

– Dylan Ciolfi, Director of Operations & Infrastructure, Flare Tx

“We recently used VFP to move many desks into storage, and I was so impressed by how quickly and efficiently they got the job done. The team worked with great speed while still being careful, and everything was removed and stored in no time. Their timeliness and professionalism made the entire process stress-free—I would highly recommend them.”

– Lizzi Poynter, EA, PepGen Inc.

“Venture Forward has been (and still is) a pivotal part of our Operations team. I’ve known various members of the VFP team for ~5 years. Originally utilized for lab relocation (twice), we took VFP on as a 40-hr lab service team in 2021 and have only increased the number of additional services we have with them. The team members are well trained and knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Where other vendors and providers have fallen short, Kyle and the VFP team have stepped up, time and time again, to ensure our lab stays running. Kyle knows there’s only a small handful of support teams I will openly and vocally cheer and advocate for. VFP is one of them.”

– Lisa Connell, Laboratory Operations Manager, Arrakis

“I recently leveraged a full suite of VFP’s services to support a client’s move from an incubator into a new lab. VFP provided equipment storage, move services, white-glove equipment delivery and installation, and even certified the equipment. By using their preferred vendor network, I secured discounts that fully offset the cost of storage and saved the client an additional $27,000. VFP’s lab services team now manages the new lab, allowing the client to operate efficiently from day one.”

– Emily Perry, Principal EM Perry Group, Treefrog Tx

“I can’t speak highly enough of the capability and confidence with which Venture Forward Lab Partners approach their work. While at Obsidian Therapeutics, I worked closely with Kyle and his team to facilitate two different moves for the company, as well as coordinate all facilities and operations until we could recruit an in-house Lab Manager.”

 – Steve Shamah, SVP, Oncology Research at 2seventy bio; former SVP, Scientific Affairs & Technology, Obsidian Therapeutics

“I have worked on numerous projects with the Venture Forward team and each time, I know I am in good hands. Kyle and his team are professional, organized, very knowledgeable about all things lab operations related, and always provide a solution to any problem, big or small. I would recommend Venture Forward to anyone working in operations in life sciences or biotech.”

– Robin Eisner, Administrative & Operations Manager, Verve Therapeutics

“Thank you for your on-going support of Bioversity. Certainly, we wouldn’t be where we are without you and the team being with us every step of the way.”

-Zach Stanley, Executive Director, Bioversity

“Kyle and his team will help you design the lab space, work with your team to determine all your equipment needs, manage the purchase, move, set-up and installation of the lab, and then both manage and run the lab once it is online.”

– Emily M. Perry, Senior Operations Manager, Remix Therapeutics

“Although I had worked with VFP before and knew we made the right decision for operations, they exceeded my expectations. I think an indication of their true professionalism is that they anticipated problems and then met with my team to discuss the proposed mitigation steps. There was nothing they couldn’t handle, when something was beyond scope, they were able to access experts to provide advice. I was impressed with the team helping us to plan a build out, go through construction plans and then even to wind down parts of our business too. There truly is no other ops company I’d work with now.” 

– Finola Moore, Senior Director, Biology, Passkey Therapeutics

We were extremely fortunate to work with the Venture Forward team to manage our relocation of both our laboratory and office operations. Dean and Joe were a highly effective team with deep experience, the right approach, and great partners to our inexperienced Team. What distinguished this team was their operational rigor and calm execution – both very easy going and just overall really nice guys!  They anticipated dependencies across lab and office functions, navigated logistical and regulatory considerations with confidence, maintained flexibility, and kept stakeholders aligned throughout the process. Details were handled proactively, timelines were respected, and issues were resolved quickly and thoughtfully. Thanks to their efforts, what could have been a highly disruptive transition was executed smoothly,  on schedule and within budget – enabling minimal disruption and a quick resumption of business continuity. I would not hesitate to work with them again and highly recommend them to any organization navigating a complex relocation or operational transitions.

– Kal Lapan, VP Head of Operations, PsiThera

We have truly enjoyed working with the VFP Lab Services team and have seen a clear, positive impact on our daily lab operations. They took the time to understand our environment and workflows, leading to smoother operations and fewer disruptions. Manny Ortiz has been outstanding—proactive, attentive, and highly dependable in resolving issues quickly. Also, working with VFP gives us access to the entire team as a shared resource, not just the on-site individual, enhancing the depth and continuity of support. From an operational and financial standpoint, the benefits are clear. Skilled troubleshooting and disciplined inventory practices have cut downtime, improved continuity, and strengthened cost management across our lab activities. Meanwhile, the team is collaborative and approachable, fostering a partnership built on trust and responsiveness. Overall, VFP Labs has significantly improved our operations and assured us that our staff and labs are well supported.

– Gary Nolan, Heah of Facilities & Lab Operations, Vida Vinci

“Our company has worked with VFP over the past four years, and they have proven to be a terrific partner to our existing team. They’ve assisted us across a wide range of needs, from day-to-day lab operations and EH&S safety consulting to the complex task of setting up and moving into a new lab space. One thing that stands out is their flexibility. They are uniquely capable of adjusting their level of support based on our current requirements, whether that means stepping back to act as a helping hand, or taking the lead to run the show on a specific project. Throughout our time together, they have maintained a high bar for excellence and a strong attention to detail. I would recommend VFP to any organization looking for adaptable, high-quality lab operations and safety support, regardless of the scale or duration of the project.”

– Laura Brandano, VP of Operations, Corner Tx

“Working with Venture Forward Partners (VFP) has been an exceptional experience across multiple critical phases of Vigil’s growth. As a neuroscience-focused biotech company based in Watertown, MA, we initially engaged VFP during the design and buildout of our laboratory space. Their team provided comprehensive support—from thoughtful lab planning and equipment selection to coordinating delivery, installation, and ensuring all infrastructure requirements (including power and utilities) were seamlessly in place. They expertly managed vendors and executed the full lab setup with precision, while also playing a key role in planning and coordinating our move. Throughout the process, they were consistently onsite, providing hands-on support and true partnership every step of the way.

Following our move, we continued to partner with VFP for part-time onsite lab support, and the value they delivered only deepened. Their consultants are highly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely personable—they integrate effortlessly and feel like an extension of the internal team rather than external consultants. Their commitment to service is outstanding, with regular check-ins and a proactive approach to ensuring our needs were not only met but exceeded.

Notably, VFP’s onsite support was instrumental in helping us achieve My Green Lab certification, demonstrating both their technical expertise and dedication to operational excellence.

During our acquisition by Sanofi in 2025, VFP once again proved to be an invaluable partner. They were flexible, responsive, and worked closely with us through the decontamination of our facility, ensuring a smooth and compliant transition.

Venture Forward Partners brings a rare combination of deep expertise, operational excellence, and genuine care for their clients. I would highly recommend them to any organization looking for a trusted partner in laboratory planning, operations, and ongoing support.”
