Are you an academic trainee (Postdoc/PhD/MBA/MD/JD/MS) interested in building a biotech startup? Are you passionate about therapeutics, diagnostics, medtech, or synthetic biology?
Nucleate is a global, student-run non-profit organization that facilitates the formation of new life science ventures [see stories in STAT, Endpoints, and the Boston Business Journal].
The Activator program provides education and support for academic trainees and investigators looking to spin out their research into a venture. It allows you to apply with an idea (you have a technology) or without one (join a team).
If you have an idea (i.e. you’re an Inventor), you can apply for either our Bio or Eco track:
- Bio Track: therapeutics, diagnostics, or tools
- Eco Track: food & agriculture, chemicals & energy, or consumer products
Don’t have an idea yet? You can join a team through the matching process as a scientific, business, or clinical contributor.
Nucleate offers:
- Completely free support – Nucleate never takes equity or charges fees for its programs.
- Mentorship from industry leaders – Receive guidance from experienced mentors.
- Comprehensive educational programming – Learn from the best in workshops and seminars.
- Investor introductions – Get connected with investors ready to support your breakthrough.
- No forced incorporation – Focus on your venture at your own pace.
Apply here by October 15, 2024.
