What does it take to turn bench science into a VC-funded startup? How do I start a company and who will fund me?

Join your fellow ICBS and Techcrunch Disrupt attendees on a visit and tour to SOSV SF, a VC investing in the earliest stages of new companies looking to make a difference in human and planetary health, Industrial transformation, and physical AI.

Building on the track record of IndieBio, the world's first biotech accelerator, the SOSV SF team has helped over 250 companies get their start - including names auch as Prellis Biologics, Upside Foods, STAMM and TippingPoint Biosciences.

SOSV SF supports scientists looking to lead companies with cash, laboratory and office space as well as mentorship and network. Oftentimes our founders are spinning out their PhD or Postdoc work as CEOs!
