Several factors have come together to help create the foundation for the biotech startup ecosystem New York City has craved for so long. Early stage life science investors, new startup incubators, and government initiatives have all played a part. And they’ve helped foster a new breed of biotechs in the city, companies with the backing to pursue cutting-edge science and the thirst to prove that life sciences startups spun out of New York research can stay, grow, and thrive in the Big Apple. Their success, or failure, will play a big part in determining the future of the ecosystem. Who are these companies, and how did they come together? Who are the people living their stories, and what challenges have they faced—and overcome—to get as far as they have? partneringONE®: Our partnering platform through EBD Group is the most efficient way to find and meet the right people for your company’s collaborative business needs.
