Biology has long been confined to the labs of academia and pharmaceutical giants. However we're undergoing an unprecedented shift as biology as a technology is enabling scientist-entrepreneurs to solve global challenges across industries.

At IndieBio, we've funded 105 biotech startups in the last four years, most founded by grad students translating their academic discoveries into solutions in human and planetary health. Today we'll talk about what has changed to kickstart the biotech startup ecosystem, how IndieBio operates, examples of areas and companies funded, and lessons learned from these startups.
