Mavericks Wanted
When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on. In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early‑stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life‑changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.
Together we define white space, push boundaries and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask “why not?” and help reengineer the future of biopharma.
