Empowering the next generation of biotech founders in the DMV.
We connect graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers with the mentors, operators, and investors who can help them turn academic science into startups. Our flagship program, the Activator, pairs scientific founders with business partners and guides them through venture formation. Alongside it, we host workshops, networking events, and community programming across the region's universities, institutes, and biotech hubs.
