Getting money for life and bioscience startups can be a daunting task.

Life and bioscience companies are some of the most capital-intensive types of startups. Securing funding is required to make it through prolonged research and development timelines and navigate complex regulations. Research, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and intellectual property protection costs are enormous.
