What are you spending time and capital building that you don’t actually need? Building a biotech company used to mean assembling the lab, team, technology, and infrastructure yourself. That model is changing. Today, shared labs, CROs, fractional experts, AI tools, accelerators, and strategic partners can give founders access to capabilities that once took years—and significant capital—to build. The challenge is knowing what creates real competitive advantage and what can be accessed elsewhere. Join founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders for a practical conversation on what to build, buy, or partner on; when outsourcing actually accelerates R&D; and how to reach critical milestones without building an organization you don't need yet. Build the moat. Borrow the rest. Hosted by MelanInScience as part of the BioInnovation Series during SF Tech Week.
