How can more women go from research to forming biostartup companies?Translate your ideas into a product!
Have more fun!
You might make more money, at least at first, taking a job in an established business, but you won’t have as much fun. And potentially, you could end up making much more money.
Make an impact
You can have an impact on the wellbeing of others, make a difference in something you care about, or meet an unmet need that no one else is meeting.
Passion & ambition
To succeed in bringing a product to market, it helps to have passion. It will motivate and inspire you to keep going. For the business to be highly successful, it helps to also have ambition.
It's an adventure!
Being a biotechnology entrepreneur challenges you to grow in ways you didn’t expect. It’s an adventure.
Play different roles
You can play different roles in your biotechnology start-up according to what fits you best, and engage partners to play the other roles. Be the CEO or the lead scientist. It’s your choice.
You're on a quest!
You don’t have to know how to run a business to get started. Learn what is most important to know before starting and then keep learning as you go, as if you are on a quest.
People are eager to help
There are many, many organizations and individuals that are eager to help early entrepreneurs along the way. Keep asking for help.
