When you start a business, especially one rooted in the exciting and fast-moving world of biotechnology, it can be easy to find yourself overwhelmed by all the different responsibilities.

Management is not often a job anyone sets out to do. To do it well requires constant energy and is almost always a thankless job – line reports tend not to realise the effort you’re putting into being a great manager.

Over the past decade of running conferences in biotechnology, we’ve seen first-hand the impact start-up companies have in the industry. We’ve noticed over the past few years that there’s a real gap in the market for good, quality advice for those moving from academia to industry, and so we are excited to be launching Biostart: the free, online magazine for CXOs looking to develop their biotech business.
Biostart will offer practical advice and insights into the industry and what it takes to move from basic science to running a successful company.
We are looking for contributors in the following areas to share their experience and knowledge:
Company spotlights
Finance
Intellectual Property
Practical skills (such as selling and networking)
Case studies
Regulation
Investor perspectives
Personal development (how to lead a team, staff recruitment, etc).
If you would be interested in writing on one of these topics or have an idea for something different, we’d love to hear from you. Contact our editor at jane.williams@biostartmagazine.com.
