For start-ups and small companies
Start-ups and young firms in most business sectors struggle to survive – 80% failure rates are often cited. Life Science start-ups face additional survival risks due to longer product development cycles, regulatory approval structures and the costs of specialist laboratory infrastructure.
At Bionow, we’ve worked with many start-ups and early stage firms since 2000. We understand what you need and why you need it. That’s why we’ve partnered with some of the leading investors, professional service providers and business advisors to offer you an exceptional membership experience.
Starting and growing a bioscience business relies upon, amongst other factors, knowledge, contacts and professional advice. You need to access funding and investment, excellent understanding about your route to market and customer needs, introductions to potential customers and suppliers, and top-quality advice on a range of issues from IP protection, talent recruitment, and specialist insurance and risk protection.
Bionow membership gives you:
- Dedicated business support accelerator programmes designed to help you grow your business, prepare for investment, market your product and develop your leadership team
- Knowledge sharing – learn from bioscience member firms who have successfully navigated their business through start-up to growth
- Business promotion to other members and networking with other business owners through BionowB2B
- Preferential rates from preferred suppliers
- Discounted attendance at both global conferences and at Bionow events
- Reduced rates for exhibiting at Bionow conferences
- Networking opportunities - pitching events and informal get-togethers
We nurture early-stage firms through our accelerator programmes. Professional guidance on investment-readiness, marketing and regulatory compliance is complemented by face-to-face networking. The programme culminates in our annual BioCap event, putting your startup in front of leading bioscience investors.
