Twelve weeks, one trajectory.
An intensive accelerator for early-stage biotech founders — rigorous science, startup building, and a culture of mutual care and ambition. Presence and participation are the deal. Bench to showcase in twelve weeks.
Orient
Move in, meet your cohort, map your science to a buildable company. Lab onboarding, biosafety clearance, and a working hypothesis you’ll be held to.
Diligence
Build the data room before anyone asks: science, IP, market, team. Then the tables turn — at Reverse Pitch Night, the investors pitch the founders on why they deserve a seat on your cap table.
Build
Heads-down execution: experiments at the bench, customers on the phone, weekly demos to the house. The sprint forces a shippable artifact out of every team.
Sci-Fi Showcase
Not a pitch night — an immersive demonstration of your company, your data, and your raise, staged for investors, partners, and press.
Housing
A furnished room in the house for the full program. Private rooms available; some shared to lower costs for founders who need support. Live with your cohort — momentum is ambient.
Wet Lab Access
Bench space, equipment, and biosafety infrastructure at the managed lab a short walk from the houses. Dry lab at the house; wet work at the bench, properly.
Capital
First checks into standout cohort teams, plus a direct line to the fund’s LP and angel network when it’s time to raise.
Mentor Network
Scientists, founders, and investors from across the Bay Area bio ecosystem — office hours, dinners, and direct introductions.
Media Engine
Long-form stories, video, and distribution that put your science in front of investors, talent, and the public before the showcase.
Alumni for Life
Permanent access to the alumni network, ongoing events, and extended stays for the most promising projects. The showcase is the start, not the end.
