Here’s to solving the big problems that matter. Huge kudos to our BSF Fellows turned Founders, Jordan Abdi, MD, Chloe Charalambous, and Alexandre Webster for officially launching U-Ploid Biotechnologies, addressing the global challenge of age-related infertility. “There is a growing need to radically improve IVF as more people choose to start families later in life. Egg cell quality is a key factor in fertility outcomes for would-be parents. U-Ploid’s proprietary technology repairs decades of damage accumulated by eggs, a novel approach that aims to improve the viability of older eggs within an IVF cycle.” Link in comments.

Scientist Founders! Set yourself up to perform to the best of your ability. Mentors, lawyers, chairmans cannot do it like you can.  You are the answer. We have a playbook which we have shared through 11 classes over the last 4 years, producing some of the most sought-after scientist-led ventures. Latest stats: - average 2.5% equity conceded to TTOs (UK national average 25%) - average $1.8M first round of funding (EU national average 220k) - 100% of ventures raising a follow-on round have done so successfully We want to see more high-performance ventures, rolling applications for BSF12 still open www.wilbe.com/bsf #ScientistsFirst

Boston scientists - let's meet! 🇺🇸 On Oct 2, together with Massachusetts Institute of Technology we’re co-hosting a discussion about career transitions beyond the lab. Hear firsthand from Brian Fiske (Mythic Therapeutics, Inc.) and Evan Zhao (Pacagen) on their journeys of building, scaling and exiting impactful companies. If you are a scientist curious about entrepreneurship, startups or venture, this is for you! Link in the comments to secure your spot!

A very special evening coming up on Sep 26 at our London HQ For all scientists navigating journeys beyond academia and industry, Meet the Scientist Founders and BSF Fellows who have gone from Postdocs to Founders and entrepreneurial PIs at the forefront of sensory computing, computational gene expression and heart longevity.

Thank you to all who joined us last week to explore Uncharted territory: Shaping the world with science. What a crowd! We were positively overwhelmed by the interest in the event, so keep an eye out for upcoming opportunities to meet again! Proudly co-hosted with Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) and Renaissance Philanthropy at IDEALondon.

They say there are many roads to heaven, there certainly are many roads to investing in Science and I can't wait to wander all of them with the one and only Devika Thapar at The Drop. Join us here https://lnkd.in/dFmEyiG9 Let the countdown start! 👩🏻🔬🔥
