helped me think more strategically about translating scientific and clinical ideas into real-world solutions
I had the invaluable opportunity to participate in the Institute for Biomedical Entrepreneurship (IBE) program, led by Curtis Sprouse. This was one of the most impactful professional experiences I’ve had. Curtis has created something truly unique — a program that not only teaches the fundamentals of biomedical entrepreneurship but also cultivates a mindset of collaboration, confidence, and purpose.
Through the IBE program, I gained practical tools and insights that helped me think more strategically about translating scientific and clinical ideas into real-world solutions. The supportive environment Curtis has built — with access to mentors, investors, and peers from diverse backgrounds — made it an incredibly enriching and motivating experience.
The EurekaConnect Behavioral Dynamics (ECBD) training added an entirely new dimension. It helped me better understand communication styles and interpersonal dynamics, which is already influencing the way I lead, collaborate, and connect with others professionally.
Curtis’s leadership and vision are the driving forces behind the IBE’s success. His dedication to empowering innovators is evident in every aspect of the program. I’m truly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend the IBE to anyone looking to bring their ideas to life in the biomedical space.
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.
