The community for life science founders

Building a start-up is no mean feat and the value of peer-to-peer support cannot be underestimated. So we’re building the BioEntrepreneur Club - a collaborative and supportive community exclusively for early-stage life science entrepreneurs.

Community Platform

All members of the BioEntrepreneur Club are invited to join our WhatsApp community platform. Our platform is a safe space where we actively discuss common hardships, debate industry news, share interesting opportunities and leverage collective experience and expertise - all with the aim of supporting each other and advancing the community together.

Quarterly Meets

Once a quarter, all members are invited to an exclusive but informal meet. Our approach is centred around creating a relaxed, safe and supportive environment for members to get to know each other, discuss challenges, share advice and let their hair down. No professional services. No students. No investors. Just those special people building in bio.

Investor Access

Through our BioCapital Network, we provide BioEntrepreneur Club members with unparalleled access to the UK's largest network of life science investors. We regularly host investor office hours, sector-specific Investor-Founder Mixers, demo days and the opportunity to share a deck with the whole BioCapital Network.

Innovators Club

Once a year, we run a free 10-week network accelerator programme designed for pre-seed companies in the BioEntrepreneur Club. Alongside a series of expert-led workshops on essential start-up topics, the programme also includes 1-to-1 investor sessions, a bespoke published Startup Spotlight and the opportunity to pitch to the BioCapital Network.

Featured Content

We give BioEntrepreneur Club members a platform to showcase their innovation by providing the opportunity to feature in our Sector Insights and Startup Spotlights, expertly pulled together by our Science Writers and then shared to the SEC's international community and following of over 5,000 individuals including entrepreneurs, investors, and industry players.

Investment Readiness Workshops

We believe that actual investors are best-placed to advise start-ups on what they need to be investment-ready because after all, they're the ones with the cash!  So, our workshops are delivered by BioCapital Network members who share their inside knowledge on what makes an investor tick and best practices when fundraising.
