How Fred finds partners

Fred’s Find Partners skill replaces Rolodex-based partner identification with data-driven shortlisting. Instead of relying on personal networks and cold outreach, Fred searches PharmaDB’s trade database to find companies with proven track records in your target molecule and market.

What Fred searches for

Fred evaluates potential partners across multiple data dimensions:

  • Trade volume: How much does the company import/export in your molecule category?
  • Market presence: Active in your target market with relevant regulatory approvals?
  • Reliability rating: Based on shipment history - on-time delivery, consistency, volume trends
  • Fit score: Composite score weighing trade activity, market alignment, and strategic fit

How it fits your workflow

  1. Select an opportunity on your Portfolio Board - one that’s passed viability evaluation
  2. Fred runs Find Partners - searches across 3,000+ tracked companies
  3. Review the ranked shortlist in DealFlow - approve top matches to add to the opportunity
  4. Chain to next skills - run Due Diligence on top matches, then Draft Outreach

Why this matters

Partner identification is one of the most time-intensive BD activities. Teams spend weeks networking, attending conferences, and making cold calls. Fred finds qualified partners in minutes by analyzing actual trade flows - not company marketing materials.

Perfect for: BD teams looking for licensing, supply, or distribution partners; Corp Dev screening acquisition targets; and Commercial teams building go-to-market partnerships.
