Biopunk is a global community of scientist-founders building the future of biotech from shared houses and labs — backed by capital from day one. People, place, science, and money, in one stack.
The best biotech founders are hidden in labs and universities — invisible to capital until it's almost too late. Biopunk finds them earlier, gives them a house to live in, a lab to build in, and a check to start with.
We're not an accelerator with a Slack channel. We're a movement: a real-world network of co-living houses, shared wet labs, grants, office hours, and Tuesday dinners — wired together by a fund that owns the cap table early and backs people, not just decks. Community is the connective tissue across everything below.
Each pillar lives at its own home on the web. The community is the membrane that holds them together.
The movement and the people in it. Grants, office hours, dinners, Field Notes, and the network that connects every house, lab, and founder in the Biopunk world.
The movement →Co-living, co-working homes for scientist-founders. 12–15 builders per cohort, living and working side by side for a 3–4 month residency in cities chosen for their science.
Visit biopunk.house →Shared BSL-2 wet-lab infrastructure so founders can run real experiments on day one — no million-dollar setup, no waiting for a university bench. The science layer of the stack.
Visit biopunklab.com →Biopunk VC — a $25M pre-seed residency fund. A founder-friendly $10K first check, aggressive follow-on for the best, and pre-incorporation access to the people building what's next.
Visit biopunkvc.com →Each house specializes in a vertical and sits where that science is strongest — talent, regulation, and infrastructure aligned.
Join a house. Live and build alongside a cohort of scientist-founders working on the same vertical, with mentors and KOLs on tap.
Run real experiments in a shared BSL-2 wet lab from week one. Hit milestones: raise $100K–1M and file IP within three months.
A $10K uncapped SAFE on entry, with aggressive follow-on of up to $100K for the top of each cohort. Capital that compounds with conviction.
