Seed-to-Scale: The Founder Debrief brings founders, industry experts and ecosystem partners together for a morning of candid conversation, practical perspective, and access to people who know the realities of building an early-stage biotech firsthand.

Who Should Attend
Built for the people making the early decisions.
Founder Day is for biotech founders, co-founders, scientific leaders, and emerging teams preparing for or actively conducting preclinical research.
If you're approaching in vivo, working toward proof-of-concept data, deploying early capital, or making decisions about how your company will execute its research, this is a chance to hear from people who have been there and connect with others working through many of the same questions.
Resources for the Work Ahead
Every attendee will leave with a Founder Day gift bag featuring contributions from across the biotech community, including two Mispro resources: Founder Field Notes and the Building an In Vivo Capability Workbook.
Mispro Seed-to-Scale gives emerging biotechs a supported path to generate in-house proof-of-concept data while maintaining ownership of their science, study design, and data.
