Success Story for Ivo

I recently participated in the Institute for Biomedical Entrepreneurship (IBE) program, and it was genuinely transformative. The week was intense, insightful, and highly relevant — bridging science, strategy, and real-world biotech entrepreneurship in a way that few programs do. What stood out most was the interactive and collaborative atmosphere Curtis fostered. His experience, energy, and sincere interest in helping each participant refine their vision and strategy made a real impact.

The EurekaConnect Behavioral Dynamics (ECBD) framework was another highlight — it adds a powerful, self-reflective dimension to leadership and communication that I’ve already integrated into my own work.

I’d strongly recommend the IBE program to any biotech founder or innovator who wants to sharpen their entrepreneurial thinking, accelerate their venture, and connect with a truly supportive international community led by Curtis and his team.

The IBE Difference

The IBE brings the specialized know-how and the funding required for translational development success.

The IBE is a lean operating company that uses disciplined processes, leverages existing resources (incubators, CROs), and taps into expert networks to work on many product opportunities in parallel, rather than trying to build one startup at a time.
