Welcome to Wilbe
Where scientists are free to perform
About Wilbe
Most of the solutions that we need for this century are in the hands of scientists but for a range of reasons we are not seeing enough impact being generated at scale. As venture operators we studied these reasons in depth and in 2020 we set off to develop a novel infrastructure dedicated to helping scientists perform to the best of their capability.
Fast forward a few years and we are now made of a global community of entrepreneurial researchers across all disciplines and through Bootcamp for Scientist Founder (our flagship investment program) developed a generation of scientist founders and now building some of the best performing science companies around.
There are 8.8million researchers in the world and we love to imagine a future where every scientist is in control of their research and career. To this end we have now open sourced as much as we can of the business training materials, negotiation playbooks and tools that we have used with our founders. If you are a practicing researcher building a company or exploring a career move, we look forward to seeing you in the Sandbox soon!
