// The open biotech movement

Build biology
in the open.

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.

Community = the movement

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.

Four pillars,
one organism

Each pillar lives at its own home on the web. The community is the membrane that holds them together.

7 houses · vertical by design

A global lab,
distributed

Each house specializes in a vertical and sits where that science is strongest — talent, regulation, and infrastructure aligned.

How the stack works
01

Move in

Join a house. Live and build alongside a cohort of scientist-founders working on the same vertical, with mentors and KOLs on tap.

02

Build in the lab

Run real experiments in a shared BSL-2 wet lab from week one. Hit milestones: raise $100K–1M and file IP within three months.

03

Get backed

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.
