ABOUT BOWTIEDBIOTECH

As a reminder, the purpose of the BowTiedBiotech substack is two-fold. Primarily, we aim to provide our scientist audience the tools to build a biotech company and ultimately translate their ideas into medicines for patients.  Secondarily, biotech investors may find this substack useful as we will be providing weekly market updates of the public AND private markets as well as heavily leveraging current financing events as teaching examples.
