Unlike broad directories, this list is curated using mentorship activity and advisory relevance rather than generic profile aggregation. We filter for advisors with real-world biotech experience, documented startup advising, and demonstrated openness to working directly with founders.
This list is most useful for founders seeking hands-on biotech guidance, recruiters sourcing experienced startup advisors, and accelerators matching teams with sector-specific mentors. It helps stakeholders find advisors who can provide practical operational and scientific support at early stages.
Key filters include active mentorship or advisory roles with early-stage companies, prior hands-on biotech industry experience (R&D, operations, or leadership), and evidence of a strong professional reputation such as publications, patents, or prior board/advisor positions. We also prioritize advisors who indicate availability to work with founders and startups.
The list emphasizes mentors experienced with early-stage biotech companies (pre-seed to Series A) and covers core biotech domains like therapeutics, diagnostics, and biologics operations. While globally scoped, many profiles note regional specializations or market focus to help founders find geographically relevant advisors.
