Apply to join the biotope basecamp. Each edition, 10 exceptional biotech startups are selected for an intensive experience that’s free to attend. At the finish line? A chance to pitch to our investment committee and secure €250K in early stage funding.
Our call opens twice a year but we are eager to hear from startups whatever the season.
What makes biotope unique?
First believers
We say yes, when other say 'too early'
Founders first
Because strong companies start with stronger people
Quality over quantity
We meet each founder where they are and grow with them from there
We fix the science first
Biotech is our blueprint, with VIB at our core. We help founders get the biotechnology right, because no biotech scales without a solid foundation.
Diversity is key
We build a community that reflects the world we operate in, across backgrounds, identities, and beliefs.
Get sh*t done
We move fast and solve problems instead of waiting for perfect conditions
