The Ganesha Lab

US Market 2023

At The Ganesha Lab we live deeply our mission of transforming science into good business that impacts the lives of millions of people globally.

That is why, in a new effort to bring Latin American biotech startups to establish themselves in the United States, we created a Go to Market program for early-growth stage companies: BIGinBIO US Market 2023.

The program begins with two weeks of online soft-landing activities, skillfully executed together with CIC Miami. During this phase, founders will gain valuable insights into the US market and its dynamics, allowing them to lay the groundwork for their future success. By leveraging CIC Miami’s expertise and extensive network, participants will receive guidance tailored to their specific needs, enabling them to refine their strategies and adapt their business models accordingly.

Following the online phase, the program moves to the vibrant city of Miami, where founders will engage in a series of on-site workshops, mentorship sessions, and personalized meetings with esteemed ecosystem experts and advisors. Our team, in collaboration with CIC Soft-Landing, has meticulously curated this schedule to address the unique challenges faced by biotech startups. The aim is to help entrepreneurs bridge crucial gaps and equip them with the necessary tools and knowledge to thrive in the competitive US market.

To ensure that the founders of the selected startups can dedicate this entire period to work on the internationalization of their project and learn to navigate the competitive global markets, they will receive an investment of up to US$160,000.
