Build Biotech Faster
What if your biotech startup could move from idea → experiment → company faster?
For early-stage biotech founders, some of the hardest problems have little to do with the science itself: regulation, infrastructure, capital, testing, and the path from a breakthrough in the lab to something that can actually reach the world.
Join Adam Draper, Founder & Managing Director of Boost VC, and Erick A. Brimen, Founder & CEO of Próspera, for a founder-focused conversation about building ambitious biotech companies—and the emergence of new environments designed to support faster experimentation and commercialization.
3:00–4:00 PM — Founder Talk & Conversation
Adam and Erick will dig into questions that matter to founders:
What types of biotech companies and experiments are a fit for Próspera?
What can founders potentially do there that is difficult or slow elsewhere?
When does it make sense for an early-stage startup to consider building or testing outside traditional biotech hubs?
What are investors looking for in the next generation of biotech companies?
How do founders turn ambitious science into a venture-scale company?
4:00–5:00 PM — Pizza + Founder Hang
Stick around after the conversation for pizza, casual networking, and a chance to connect with Adam, Erick, and other biotech founders.
From longevity and therapeutics to synthetic biology and other frontier areas of biotech, this event is for founders working on ideas that feel too early, too ambitious, or too unconventional for the traditional playbook.
If you’re building an early-stage biotech company—or thinking about starting one—come for the conversation and stay for pizza with the people building what’s next in biology.
