IndieBio

SOSV's biotechnology programme, giving early-stage science companies laboratory space and seed capital.

Program Type
Biotech Accelerator
Headquarters
San Francisco, California
Focus
Life Sciences & Biotech

Overview

IndieBio provides what biotechnology founders most lack at the outset: wet laboratory space, equipment, and capital at a stage when traditional biotech funding is unavailable.

It has been influential in extending accelerator methods — short programmes, cohorts, demo days — into a sector where they were previously assumed not to apply.

Program Structure

  • Programme built around access to shared wet laboratory facilities
  • Seed investment from SOSV at entry
  • Scientific and commercial mentorship
  • Demo day to a biotech-focused investor audience
  • Follow-on capital available through SOSV funds

What They Look For

  • Scientific founders with genuine research credentials
  • Technology with a plausible path out of the laboratory
  • Applications in food, therapeutics, materials, or agriculture
  • Understanding of regulatory pathways where relevant
  • Ability to demonstrate progress within a short programme
