Founder
2024 - 2025
BioMed VC Insights (BVCI) was born out of a simple observation: founders building breakthrough biomedical solutions often struggle with one of the most critical parts—funding. BVCI helps founders bridge the gap between non-dilutive and venture capital financing. Through Funding for Founders (https://www.bvci.io/), I provide plainspoken strategies, resources, and tools to demystify grant funding—especially NIH and SBIR/STTR. My work combines deep grant expertise with a venture-informed perspective, helping founders make smarter decisions across their entire funding journey.
