We are in the midst of the greatest period of innovation civilisation has ever seen. This century, technology will revolutionise our lives more powerfully and more rapidly than the industrial revolution did. This time we have an opportunity - and an obligation - to ensure technology is a force for good, that improves the lives of future generations without collateral damage. We’re optimistic this is possible, and we choose to focus on the possibilities of great teams setting out on meaningful missions, rather than obsessing about what might go wrong. The defining companies of our generation will be addressing fundamental issues in climate, energy, health, and equitable society. These are the companies we want to make possible. These are the founders we strive to serve. This is our reason for being. Our focusTechnologies: We look for frontier technologies across deep tech, life sciences, and software platforms that are unlocking unprecedented innovation. The convergence of diverse disciplines is where we see breakthroughs take place. Mission: We invest in solutions to the world's most pressing challenges across climate, energy, health and society. Sustainable initiatives such as carbon capture, energy transition, food & agriculture and new materials will pave the way for a cleaner future, as will fostering the circular economy and exploring space for alternative resources. New tools and models for drug discovery and precision medicine will benefit health and longevity, while AI-supported software tools, financial inclusion and upskilling will boost productivity, creating a more equitable future for all. Geography: We recognise that Interdisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs bring together diverse perspectives and expertise, leading to breakthrough ideas and solutions. The brightest minds often gravitate to these intersections and each other, and that can happen anywhere. We are always open to exploring new regions and building relationships with entrepreneurs and investors across the globe. Stage: We are primarily focused on investing in pre-seed and seed rounds, supporting startups at the early-stages of their development. We may also consider later-stage companies that are showing strong growth potential and are a good fit with our investment strategy.

Our business is to turn scientists into entrepreneurs who can save lives and save the planet (we call this “human and planetary health”). Personal, 1 on 1, with IndieBio’s Team We are not an assembly line. You are not a widget. Every startup is unique and needs devoted attention. Most startup programs have a meeting with you once a week. We talk to you almost every day. We sit with you, desk to desk, as we work. These rapid touchpoints speed up your iteration cycles and are critical to your evolution into a successful startup. You get direct access to the team that helped build so many iconic companies over the years. Most accelerators are designed to spot the one company in 10 that might be big one day. At IndieBio, every startup matters. You are our first priority. Your success is our only business model. We only invest in companies that come through our accelerator. Our Alumni are Our Greatest Asset All new startups get the benefit of a trusted community with 199 alumni who are happy to share their wisdom. Going through IndieBio is an incredible bonding experience. We teach a philosophy and mindset that is uniquely ours. You’ll become emotionally and intellectually attached to your fellow batch mates. You’ll remember them the rest of your life. This deep connection informs the next years to come. IndieBio is our startups’ birthplace. Everyone visits home. Every generation of startups gets the benefit of alumni help, and then they repay the favor to the new batch. First, we can start funding you and working with you earlier, long before you’re ready to be in the intensive program. We’ve done this up to 9 months in advance. So even if you haven’t graduated yet, or haven’t yet gone full-time on the startup, we recommend you still apply. We Believe in Diversity 44% female. First, second, and third time founders. 36 nationalities. Post-docs and corporates. Ages 21 to 75. Diversity is a core thesis for IndieBio. We find talent that many others overlook. Some of the greatest companies of tomorrow are hiding in plain sight, today, right now. It’s just that nobody listens long and hard enough to recognize the brilliance and the potential. If other investors have told you that you’re “too early,” well, that’s our sweet spot. We’ve funded paper plans, where no science has been done yet–and created hugely successful companies that way. Perhaps the greatest endorsement is how many alumni have returned to IndieBio to create their second company.
