Take your first steps toward entrepreneurship with the Building a Biotech Venture program, where regenerative medicine or precision medicine-focused trainee teams learn from industry experts to develop their venture concepts, create a pitch deck and business canvas, and set milestones for building their company.
The Building a Biotech Venture program will include a series of workshops where teams will:
- Learn how to think about their research in terms of a product or business
- Build a business canvas and develop their product or venture concept
- Receive guidance from industry experts on intellectual property, clinical translation, and early-stage stage investment, and preclinical experimental de-risking.
- Create a pitch deck and receive coaching on telling their venture story
- Receive mentoring throughout the process.
The program will culminate in a pitch competition where the top teams will receive up to $25,000 (first place) and $10,000 (second place) in research funding to advance their venture.
