About this listen
 What does it take to build a clinical research company—and how do you know when it is time to let someone else lead it? In this episode of Beyond Outcomes – Clinical Research Unfiltered, Andreas Beust speaks with Andreas Grund, founder of GCP-Service and business angel, about his journey from academic research to CRO entrepreneurship, international collaboration, and investing in medical-device startups. Andreas shares how GCP-Service grew from a one-person operation into an international business, why adapting to clients’ needs shaped his approach, and what he learned about trust, responsibility, and managing a growing team through uncertain times. He reflects on developing clinical trial technology, introducing risk-based thinking, and building partnerships across different business cultures. The conversation also takes a critical look at how clinical research has changed. From paper case report forms to electronic data capture and artificial intelligence, Andreas discusses where technology has helped—and where he believes over-documentation and risk avoidance still distract from meaningful trial quality. Can AI reduce unnecessary work, or will it simply make it easier to demand more? Beyond clinical trials, Andreas explains why he chose to hand over operational leadership, how he separates personal identity from professional status, and what he now looks for in startup founders. It is an open conversation about entrepreneurship, ego, clinical evidence, financial responsibility, and creating value for patients, clients, and the next generation.
