Road Tour
The road tour is a critical part of our selection process. Based on input from our corporate partners and other online application reviewers, the highest-scoring companies will be invited to participate in one of a series of in-person and virtual pitch events, awarding a coveted opportunity to meet with industry-leading judges and key opinion leaders. All companies invited to pitch will be provided with feedback summaries from our judges.
As part of a rigorous selection process, invite-only pitch events are held both virtually and in-person:
Events feature company pitches and networking opportunities with over 50 judges-including investors, business-development executives, and life science research tools industry leaders.
Summit
The annual Innovator Summit is a lively and engaging event that exclusively allows the leadership teams from our latest BioTools Innovator, MedTech Innovator, and APAC cohorts of startups to get to know each other in an immersive environment, exchange ideas with MedTech Innovator’s partners, alumni, and other industry leaders, and form lasting relationships.
Accelerator Program
Companies will receive a place in the BioTools Innovator accelerator, a four-month virtual mentorship-focused program. Opportunities include networking, workshops, and pitching to investors, manufacturers, and providers. Accelerator companies will be assigned mentors from one or more of our corporate partners, and compete for up to $250,000 in non-dilutive cash prizes.
Capstone Event
The capstone event is the Finals Competition for the BioTools Innovator Accelerator. The event will feature panel discussions with best-in-class life science tools companies and a pitch competition featuring the BioTools Innovator Finalists. The day will conclude with the crowning of the $250,000 Grand Prize Winner, selected by a live audience vote. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with BioTools Innovator partners, including investors, and senior executives from Life Science tools companies and others.
