Ever wonder why being a biotech entrepreneur feels like running through a maze while wearing a blindfold? Howard Berman’s journey with Coya Therapeutics gives us a pretty good reminder of why. Launching a biotech firm these days can feel akin to setting sail in treacherous waters with sharks circling—enspirited optimism punctuated by teetering anxiety. There’s something poetic about the challenge every visionary faces in the biotech sphere: 1. ✔️ Amazing Discovery ➡️ Big Expectations ➡️ Financial Rollercoaster ➡️ Reality Bites 2. ✔️ Revolutionary Treatment ➡️ Regulatory Nightmares ➡️ Enduring the Funding Drought ➡️ Holding Onto Belief Now, what Berman is doing with Coya Therapeutics is remarkable—attempting to revolutionize therapeutic development is not for the faint-hearted. Imagine betting on the next big therapeutic leap while opponents cling to mediocrity and investors ask, What if it fails? every step of the way. Our predictive outlook? The future of therapeutic development is only going to become more relentless, competitive, and innovation-thirsty. Entrepreneurs will need to wear multiple hats—scientist, negotiator, motivational speaker, and let’s face it, magician. Here’s a snapshot of what's ahead: - 🎯 The demand for personalized medicine is seeing exponential growth. Biomarkers may become almost a lingua franca in the near future. - 🏁 Companies that can crack the code on affordable and wide-scale gene therapy might very well hold the gold ticket. - ⏩ Accelerated clinical trial innovations driven by AI will rewrite history books. Nope, no pressure there. Berman and Coya Therapeutics remind us that forging new paths in biotech isn’t just about brilliance in the lab. It’s about balancing atop a tightrope, a testament to unwavering vision and grit. A salute to all rigid dreamers navigating this daunting journey. Your perseverance fuels an industry that doesn’t just seek to accommodate life but enrich its very core. Here’s to turning unyielding obstacles into groundbreaking leaps. Keep pushing those boundaries, even when the haters say it’s impossible. And let’s be honest, who said being a bit of a rebel in biotech wasn't half the fun? #Biotech #Entrepreneurship #TherapeuticDevelopment #CoyaTherapeutics #InnovationFuel https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV

He who dares wins. He who is prepared prevails. He who hesitates fails. He who waits is too late. This is as true in business as it is in life. As a renowned biomedical researcher discovering the science behind MirZyme Therapeutics, I can attest that confidence grows as data accumulate. However, to achieve our goal, we must pursue it even when others cannot see our vision and deliver it without fuss or hesitation. #confidence #entrepreneurship

I am looking forward to present at the next hollandbio event on ‘alternative financing ( 20th September, Utrecht. I will unveil how we funded Genome Diagnostics BV (GenDx), how we generated first revenues from our -not yet finished -products and services and became profitable in about one-and-half a year after start. I will tell about the impact of our partnerships (e.g. QIAGEN and Abbott), and acquisition of an important asset (purchased from Quest Diagnostics). I will also discuss how GenDx supports other start-ups: e.g. Scope Biosciences B.V. financially, but also to help them to focus their R&D attention to a product to be launched commercially. The philosophy: #DaretoShare has been and is still the cornerstone of my personal entrepreneurial approach. I will give a few examples where I have supported starting entrepreneurs and companies financially, e.g. Core Life Analytics and Kairos Biotech Ltd. Are you anticipating starting a life science company or do want to learn how you can grow a company without sacrificing your independent position?

Philipp, could you share one of the biggest achievements a client has realized thanks to your tools? Frank asked me this question. I think it is a good one. We develop biophysical tools FOR customes. So it is all about our users success. What our users can achieve. Thanks to our tools. The answer: Drugs based on our data. New drugs we helped to develop. Investigational New Drug (IND) Applications Filed at the FDA together with our biophysical data. The feedback "𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦." That we enable to be faster than the competition. And we all know: the winner takes it all.. How about you? What's your clients biggest achievment? P.S. This is my first experiment with a video. Frank Metzel had this cool idea. I don't know how to edit a video. So he recorded and edited it for me. I like it. #biotechnology #entrepreneurship #startup ————————— I am Philipp - founder, CEO & business angel. My bootstrapped company NanoTemper is a global leader for biophysical tools for biotech.
