Alongside financial support, participants benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Investor-style training, including real-world due diligence simulations and structuring a virtual data room with expert feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to an Investment Advisory Board (IAB), providing tailored feedback at application and throughout the programme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular exposure to investors through Biop\u00f4le-hosted panels and networking events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Start-ups that have secured at least CHF\u202f250,000 in external funding may also qualify for a Pre\u2011Clinical Top\u2011Up: a CHF\u202f250,000 convertible loan, along with support to recruit a key C\u2011level fractional executive, bringing total funding up to CHF\u202f500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme\u2019s training curriculum is delivered in partnership with leading advisory firms: Katzarov for IP, EY for market and commercial strategy, Lenz &amp; Staehelin for legal structuring and virtual data room setup, Virgo Ventures for finance and team dynamics, and Biop\u00f4le Postgrad Consulting for scientific evaluation, supervised entirely by Biop\u00f4le SA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upgraded offering reflects Biop\u00f4le\u2019s long-term commitment to life sciences innovation and entrepreneurial support in the region.
