Contract Manufacturing Sourcing & Partner Search

Identify, Vet, and Partner with the Right contract development manufacturer (CDMO), Co-Packer, or Toll Manufacturer, Anywhere in the World

yet2‘s Contract Manufacturing Sourcing service identifies, vets, and prioritizes external suppliers across the full contract manufacturing landscape, including CDMOs, toll manufacturers, co-packers, contract research organizations (CROs), and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Drawing on a proprietary database of 13,000+ contract organizations and 25 years of Open Innovation experience, we anonymously gather non-confidential, non-public capability and capacity data so you can make a confident go-forward decision.

Move beyond the usual suspects with cross-industry contract manufacturing scouting that surfaces qualified, non-obvious contract manufacturing partners.
Direct anonymous outreach captures non-confidential, non-public information you cannot find on the public web.
Beyond a list of names, yet2 embeds with your procurement, R&D, and external manufacturing teams.

Expert Search

Connect with the Right Expert, Without the Subscription Markup

When your team needs a scientific or technical expert to advise on a specific challenge, the typical platform-based expert network charges high subscription fees, marks up hourly rates, and keeps the expert relationship inside their walled garden.

yet2‘s Expert Searching service flips that model: our scientific team scouts and vets hard-to-find experts on a per-project basis, you own the relationships, and projects are typically delivered at a fraction of the cost of a traditional expert network.

yet2‘s scientific consultants have the technical depth to identify and vet experts for complex R&D challenges, drawing on the yet2 Expert Relationship Network (ERN™) and active scouting in adjacent fields.
Unlike subscription-based expert platforms, yet2 facilitates a direct, warm introduction between you and the expert with no risk of being cut out or charged ongoing platform fees.
No annual subscription, no variable pricing markup, and the option to scope a focused Quick Search or build out a full filterable roster of vetted experts for ongoing use.
