Success Stories

For a graduate student like myself, who is interested in entering the biotech startup space I found this to be a truly one-of-kind experience.

I cannot stress how valuable it was to get “real” feedback from experts who review pitches on a daily basis, and who were genuinely interested in helping us build and develop our own ideas.

Whether you are working in a big pharma or an innovative biotech company, or launching your own start-up, you will learn the basics of what it takes to turn an innovative idea to a business success

...when I left, armed with the knowledge and connections gained, I felt empowered and determined to find ways of commercializing my science.

They (the participants) span the spectrum from highly experienced to people just starting out on their career paths, and from academia to tiny start-ups to large companies.

The program is not the usual executive business fare of case studies or lectures. You are your own case study.

I would enroll in the course again without any hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about themselves, organizational behavior or biomedical entrepreneurship.

The IBE along with the EBCD program are invaluable tools for developing talent in the industry and allowing people to truly reach their potential.

In addition to networking, this program gives concrete and useful information and advice for entrepreneurs, including how the business angel and VC strategies are currently changing in a fast evolving market

Overall, it was an extremely valuable experience and a great opportunity to meet and connect with others in the local area in academia and industry. Highly recommend!

The IBE course is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in becoming involved in biomedical research commercialization

I came back with armed with both how to develop new ideas into projects, do better diligence on business opportunities, and better preparation on FDA interactions.
