About the Founders Growth Community

The Founders Growth Community (FGC) has been created to support pre-series A life science/biotech founders and leaders. The group helps to accelerate the funding process with workshops and networking and an online community to share resources and advice.

The Initiative came from an idea at the Milner Therapeutics Institute, who then formed a coalition of like-minded accelerators and incubators to turn the idea into reality. The other leading partners are Babraham Research Campus, o2h, Start Codon and Illumina Ventures.
