Honestly Impactful: Biofounder Q&A Series (Summer 2025)
What it is
Honestly Impactful is a webinar series spotlighting real biotech founders on their journeys from 0 to 1. We invite founder to share their story behind building a biotech company: the doubts, failures, hard choices — and why it’s still worth it. These are closed, small-group sessions for 25 MSc and PhD life science students from the Rhein-Main region (Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Mainz).
Why it matters
Most students are trained to publish. Few are shown how to build. These founders are the role models students rarely see — someone who is doing the hard part of turning papers into something real. We aim to show the reality of bio-entrepreneurship with honest conversations. No hype.
