Each is aided by a small group of personnel at the parent (EdenRoc) level, who support core business functions including legal, human resources, benefits, accounting, finance, IT, and business planning. Additionally, each subsidiary is aided by the resources and collaboration of the other subsidiaries.

This cross-fertilization is fostered by shared board oversight and the fact that employees and advisors are granted equity at the EdenRoc level. The result is a cooperative group of start-ups, each working for the benefit of all. 

Core to EdenRoc is the creation of an engine for developing leading technologies and skills which address multiple biotech and healthcare markets.
