Wilbe | Home for Scientist Leaders is launching the first full stack platform exclusively dedicated to accelerating scientists’ careers, and we are opening it up to the first batch of users next week. What is this website you say? It has 100s of hours of instructor content from leading experts in science entrepreneurship where you can learn at your own pace about topics like financial planning, IP, how to speak with your university Technology Transfer Office, about different types of investor, how to identify your market and the difference between a functional and value proposition to name but a few. But it's not just for those starting a commercial company. We want support all science innovation, and being able to 'sell' your idea is also crucial for philanthropic endeavours. We have info on advocacy for scientists, funding opportunities, and as Community Lead, I want to expand the amazing network of scientists and engineers Wilbe has been growing over the last 4 years. Wilbe.com has a ton of resources for all scientists, whether you are exploring entrepreneurship as a founder, academic or team member, navigating a painful spinout process, looking for funding, a lab space or want to be surrounded by a community of scientists who are driving solutions to the world’s most pressing problems, we built Wilbe.com for you. You can secure your spot at wilbe.com. Can’t wait to see you there. #ScientistsFirst Wilbe | Home for Scientist Leaders WilbeLAB

Just how hard is it finding talent in Deep Tech? Last week Fleur and I attended Cicada x Tech23 hosted by Cicada Innovations, the largest Deep Tech Festival in #Australia. In a panel hosted by Rupal Ismin, the panelists, all #Tech23 Founders, were asked whether finding talent was a challenge. The responses: Tim Vale, Telemattica: "Hiring is one of the top three things you are concerned about at any one time." Ruby Jones, Aquila - "When finding people in specific technical niches, it's about getting the word out." Daniel Griffin, Eco Shield Systems Pty Ltd - "It is hard to find specialised skills across multi-disciplines. If I could clone our CTO I would do so multiple times." At Sprout People we can't help clone the CTO, but we absolutely understand the mindsets required at each stage of a Deep Tech journey. And Tim's comment is 100% bang on. Finding the right people for the right stage of your growth is one of the key challenges for start-ups. As Ruby said, getting the word out is key. An online advertisement is not enough. We adopt a search approach to the majority of roles we recruit. At Sprout, we believe hiring is a team sport. We collaborate with our founders to untap our networks together in a coordinated way. If you are interested in learning more about our approach, drop Fleur Clough or myself a note. We would be happy to also introduce you to founders across the deep tech segments (food, agri, health, clean, build) that could talk to our approach to recruitment across Australia and NZ. #scaleup #deeptech #recruitment

My TOP 5 posts about life science posts last week! Practical advice, discoveries and explanations for staying updated: ➊ Despite benefits, CAR-T has toxic effects. But little by little, scientists find solutions to bypass them. Benjamin McLeod explains the main 5 toxicities and gives some paper highlights about potential solutions for them. ↳ Read his post: https://lnkd.in/eqyDXn3H ➋ Choosing the best element for your team is not simple for biotech founders. What is the more advantageous for your company? Experimented ones or newbies? Katie Bashant Day explains why startups should hire adaptable scientists with growth potential. ↳ Read her post: https://lnkd.in/ejMEbMgf ➌ How many times has an investor said no to your investment request? For many companies, these investments are vital. But after many rejections, should you give up? No. Frank Metzel explains why every rejection is helping you reach your goal. 👉🏻 Read his post: https://lnkd.in/er8V3seh ➍ VC vs Bootstrapping: what is the best? There are quite opposite opinions on this subject. But is it a question worth asking? Philipp Baaske explains what matters the most and why we should focus on it. ↳ Read his post: https://lnkd.in/exXk52VG ➎ Cell culture involves growing cells in a controlled environment. But to ensure it, we need to examine the morphology of cells in culture and have a healthy cell appearance. How could we do that? Pricella gives more explanations and examples. ↳ Read the post: https://lnkd.in/e-mbpZwP 👉 Which post inspired you the most last week?
