BioTools Innovator seeks to boost startups developing life science tools

By Samantha Black, PhD, ScienceBoard editor in chief

April 9, 2021 -- On-Demand Webinar -- BioTools Innovator is calling for applications to its inaugural competition to advance innovation by accelerating the growth of startups developing life science tools. Kathryn Zavala, PhD, managing director, recently discussed the program with ScienceBoard.net.

The new program was developed by the same team behind MedTech Innovator, an organization that hosts a nonprofit global competition and accelerator for medical device startups. Zavala is MedTech Innovator's chief operating officer and vice president of business development.

Startup companies selected to participate in the three-month BioTools Innovator program will gain visibility and access to investors, stakeholders, decision-makers, and a network of mentors and peers. They will also be able to participate in a webinar-based educational curriculum.

At the end of the program, the top 10 companies will compete in the BioTools Innovator Final Competition scheduled for mid-October 2021. Up to $200,000 in nondilutive cash prizes will be awarded to the four selected finalists. The grand prize winner will be determined via a live audience vote and announced during the event.
