Maven Bio role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
AI research platform that gives biopharma teams cited, up-to-date answers about drugs, trials, and the market.
Who you'd be calling
Business development, competitive intelligence, and R&D strategy leaders at biopharma companies, plus analysts at investment firms.
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [You] from Maven Bio. I'm calling because teams like yours spend a lot of time tracking competitor drugs and trial news. Is that something on your plate?”
Problems you solve for them
- Researchers waste hours digging through papers, trials, and news
- Strategic decisions rely on information that goes stale fast
- Hard to trust AI answers without sources
Discovery questions to ask
- How does your team track new trial results and competitor moves today?
- How long does it take to answer a strategy question from leadership?
- How do you keep your project files current as things change?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm busy right now.”
→ Understood, I'll be brief. Can I grab 15 minutes later this week to show you how it works?
“Not interested.”
→ Fair enough. Out of curiosity, how much time does your team spend on market research each week?
“We already use something.”
→ Good, that means research matters to you. What do you wish your current tools did better?
“Send me an email.”
→ Sure thing. Which topic or drug area should I make it about so it's actually relevant?
Interview tips for this company
- You don't need a science degree, but learn terms like pipeline, clinical trial, and competitive intelligence.
- Stress that answers come with citations, since trust is the big worry with AI in biotech.
