About Us
Dry Powder Bio, Inc. operates an online marketplace and community connecting biotech company founders, investors, clinicians, suppliers, academia, government, patient advocacy groups, professional services providers, and associations. The goal is to help accelerate medical cures, collaboration, research & investment.
Our core mission is to help speed drug discovery, MedTech and digital health innovation by building an ecosystem that helps expand funding research. The second goal is to help commercialize company and researcher products, services, and licensing opportunities more efficiently in the market than today.
We will be introducing a non-fungible token (NFT) and open-source workflow and will add team analysis and a Scientific Advisory Panel that is rewarded with tokens to help vote for the projects with the most potential and other actions required by this community.
Our goal is to introduce a new funding mechanism to reduce costs and friction in funding biotech companies for $1 to $20 million raises, but also be able to fund earlier stage peer-reviewed research and projects just coming out of academia by facilitating micro-transactions.
