Strategic Collaborations
Clarifi works selectively with startups, scaleups, and research teams operating in highly regulated sectors.These collaborations help validate and refine the Clarifi regulatory intelligence platform in real-world development environments - particularly where regulatory classification, evidence strategy, and commercialization planning intersect.Areas of collaboration include:• Early-stage pathway strategy
• Regulatory classification
• Evidence and risk planning
• EU, UK, and US market navigation
• Submission and commercialization support

Why Clarifi
Startups don’t fail on regulation late — they fail on decisions made early.Clarifi is designed to make those decisions visible before companies commit major time, capital, and technical resources.

About
Clarifi was founded by Stephen O’Rourke, a regulatory strategist working at the intersection of regulatory intelligence, commercialization strategy, and emerging health technologies.His work focuses on structuring regulatory decision-making early — translating complex regulatory frameworks into structured systems designed for real-world decision-making.Before founding Clarifi, Stephen held Regulatory & Compliance responsibilities at Infinite Roots, contributing to regulatory strategy and evidence planning during the company’s €50M Series B.He is also selected as an external evaluator for the European Commission’s Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), providing insight into how innovation is assessed at EU level.His work focuses particularly on how regulatory uncertainty shapes innovation, investment readiness, and product development strategy in early-stage companies.Alongside Clarifi, he contributes to selected policy and advocacy work in areas such as patient safety, food innovation, and regulatory transparency — applying regulatory thinking beyond compliance into real-world impact.

What We Are Building
Clarifi is developing modular regulatory intelligence tools designed to support early-stage decision-making across life science innovation.These tools help answer:• What am I building (regulatory classification)?
• What pathway am I entering?
• What risks am I creating early?The goal is to make regulatory decision-making more structured, accessible, and scalable during product development and commercialization.
