ABOUT

We believe connecting investors will drive innovation

Since launching in January 2023, the BioCapital Network has grown to a community of over 270 members - every single individual is investing in UK-based life science companies. Members include representatives of over 170 unique funds and numerous Angel investors with the community’s combined assets under management totalling over £40 billion.

Why join?

Do you want a better line of sight on deals coming through the life science pipeline in the UK?

Is there space for other investors in a deal you’re participating in?

Did you pass on an exciting opportunity that wasn’t quite right for you but could be ideal for another investor?

Is one of your portfolio companies raising and requiring additional, maybe later-stage, investors?

Do you want to learn more about a particular area of life sciences?

How to become a Member?

Eligibility is simple. Our only requirements for joining the BioCapital Network are that you actively invest in the UK life science ecosystem and you meet each of the following criteria.

Please note,  you will only be accepted to the BioCapital Network if you have access to active funds for investment in life science companies. After review by our team, accepted members will be invited to join our community platform.

An international community

Members can be based anywhere in the world but they must be actively backing UK-based life science companies. In fact, we’re proud to be building an international community of investors who all recognise the strength and potential of UK life sciences.

As of Q1 2024, over 30% of BioCapital Network members represent funds headquartered outside of the UK with 19% in Europe, 9% in North America and 3% in Asia - spanning a total of 20 countries.

Through joining the community, investors based outside of the UK can enhance their deal flow by gaining unparalleled access to high-quality investment opportunities in UK-based companies that are shared by other trusted BioCapital Network members.

Activities

A vibrant network of investors

Senior Care

Investor-Founder Mixers

Once a month, BioCapital Network members are invited to join intimate meet-ups centred around specific themes within life sciences.

We invite selected members of our BioFounder Club to these, aiming for a 1:1 investor-to-founder ratio with around 10 - 20 attendees, enabling a more personal way for founders and investors to connect. These sessions enable exposure to new investment opportunities alongside discussions around sector trends and challenges.

Senior Care

Quarterly Social

Once a quarter, we host an informal social meet-up exclusively for members of the BioCapital Network. No professional services. No pitching companies. No students. Just investors.

These socials have no formal agenda and provide a relaxed and open forum for investors from across all areas of life sciences to develop meaningful relationships, share high-quality deal flow, open co-investment opportunities and enable discussions on the latest industry trends and challenges.

Senior Care

Office Hours

Twice a year, we host Office Hours for members of the BioCapital Network to meet one-to-one with some of the incredible entrepreneurs who are part of our BioFounder Club.

Office Hours are organised in sector-specific sessions so you can pick and choose which you join based on your investment areas and interests within life sciences.

We aim to have at least 50% of participating companies to be women-led and at least 50% to be based outside of the Golden Triangle.

Senior Care

Community Platform

All members of the BioCapital Network are invited to join our online community platform, built on Mighty.

Our platform is a safe space where we actively discuss industry news and share interesting deal flow, all in sector-specific spaces.

This platform offers a better way for the international life science investment ecosystem to connect and allows a more open sharing of opportunities with the overall aim of getting more UK-based companies funded.
