Who we are...

SSU is about re-imagining how study teams get clinical trials started and done. We're building the modern way to work together a fast and versatile web application that connects sponsors, CROs, and sites with what's going on, their shared priorities, and who owns each part of the effort.

We're software engineering, clinical operations, and leaders with vision from companies like Amgen, Genentech, Quintiles, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, CERN, McKinsey & Company, Intuit, Cisco WebEx, E.TRADE, Peoplesoft and Sun Microsystems. We're backed by Aberdare Ventures, Singapore EDBI, Qualcomm Life Fund of Qualcomm Ventures, West Health Investment Fund, and an experienced team of advisors.

Why we're here...

The clinical study startup process is awful. Existing tools used to track site activation tasks and documents are manual, bloated, and complex. To take the next step in clinical study productivity, we need a fresh start. We created SSU to help take that step to improve the productivity of sponsors, CROs, and sites, to ultimately get medicines to those in need faster.
