The Accelerator for Biosciences in Connecticut (ABCT) is always free for our invited participants! We will never require an entrance/application or participation fee. You will be required to cover transportation costs to in person events.

ABCT is open to all stages of biosciences ventures including biotech, med device, pharma, digital health, diagnostics, and materials. We provide customized learning and networking opportunities for each venture.

We work with ventures at all stages, from early to late-stage ventures; primarily, we work with first-time founders and provide foundational support for the growth of their ventures.

The ABCT program does not currently offer direct funds to any ventures within the program – we connect ventures to potential investors and non-dilutive funding and offer them the tools to drive their own success when fundraising.

Never! All participants who are invited to the program have full control and ownership of their IP; we will never ask to own equity in the ventures that apply to or participate in ABCT. To ensure there’s never any issues with IP we operate with non-confidential information.

Alums join an expanding network of continued support – both from their founder peers and the ABCT team. We encourage alums to join panels and events, and we continue to share news on our alums to help boost their visibility efforts. ABCT may only be for 6-months, but involvement in our cooperative network can last a lifetime.
