All members of the BioFounder 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.
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.

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.

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.
The first period tracking app was released in 2013, and approximately 100 million people use a period tracking app today. With this growth, over 10 years, period tracking apps seem like an exponential success. Yet, every month, around 1.8 billion people in the global population menstruate, suggesting there is a side of the market that is currently being unfulfilled.

Over two decades ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) sounded the alarm on obesity, declaring it a global epidemic. Fast forward to 2013, and the WHO set an ambitious goal: halt the rise in obesity by 2030. But with just six years left, the numbers tell a different story...
