Our Purpose

Make clinical trials boring.

Our Story

The concept for Slope sprang from a prior company founded by Rust and Michael Felix that forecast supply and demand for complex e-commerce supply chains. It was immensely unfulfilling work. Everything changed in late 2016 when the two brothers discovered that the supply chains running cutting-edge clinical trials were incredibly antiquated and chaotic. Fast forward to today, and Slope has become the leader in designing data-driven and patient-centric clinical supply chains for some of the most demanding studies on the planet.

Our Values

Slope has five core values that are near and dear to the hearts of everyone on our team. We are truly passionate about the work we do, and it shows.

1Patients are paramount.
2Better, stronger, faster.
3Driven by data.
4Job done, have fun.
5Get SLOPED!

Two Brothers, One Vision

Slope helps ClinOps teams make data-driven decisions that accelerate time-to-market for demanding studies.

Rust Felix

Co-founder / CEO

The older, taller Felix brother. Rust holds a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with concentration in computational fluid dynamics. He is one of the few engineers who won't bore you deeply at a dinner party. Throughout his career Rust has used complex data sets to inform mathematical models that solve real problems.

Michael Felix

Co-founder / CTO

The younger, slightly shorter, (and some people would argue) more dashing Felix brother. Michael is an accomplished designer, developer, and educator with over 15 years of professional experience delivering human-centric software, systems, and services across industries ranging from eCommerce to clinical research.

Mountains of Lab Kits

Inventory surrounds us. It’s in your house, at your gas station, in your grocer’s freezer, and on the shelves of your Research Site’s supply closets and pharmacy. Inventory is something that demands attention and careful management.
