Hey {{first_name|default:there}}, it's Vadim 👋
Big news, if you haven’t heard yet!
Tomorrow, Bio Founder GPS turns one year old 🎉
On October 26, 2025, I sent the first issue to 128 people. It was about the five types of biotech investors and how to pitch each one - still a relevant topic, if you ask me 🙂
Today, over a thousand of you read it every Sunday.
Thank you for reading, replying, and forwarding. It still surprises me a little every time, and I’m so grateful I can do this.
Passing this milestone has put me in a reflective (and, honestly, celebratory) mood.
So this week, instead of a deep dive, we're throwing a little birthday party, and I've put together a few special gifts to unveil along the way.
First unveiling: the new biofounder.io is live, with every issue sorted by theme and every investor list, tool, and interview a click away.
This is something that many of you have asked for, so I’m especially excited to finally share it with you.
Check it out and let me know what you think!
And we’re just getting the party started.
Here's what else we’re unveiling today 👇
The Investor List Vault: every investor list and tool shared over the past year, updated with the latest investor activity
Our highlights from the past 12 months: the issues, reports, and interviews worth revisiting
Where I want to take this community next and how we can build it together
Before we unwrap the rest, a quick word from this week's sponsor (hint: it's still me 🙂)
Last week, I introduced Bio Founder Raise, the tool I've been building to help life science founders run their raise.
It reviews your pitch deck, finds the right funds and people to contact, shows you who's actually been investing in your field, and keeps your outreach on track so nothing falls through the cracks.
What's inside so far: 2,000+ verified life science funds, 4,600+ partners and team members across about 700 US funds, and data on 2,000+ pre-seed through Series A rounds since 2023.
The vault below gives you a curated shortlist. Raise opens up the rest of the field.
It's in private beta, and over the next few weeks I'll start opening it up in small waves, first come, first served. So the earlier you join the waitlist, the sooner you get in. If you're planning to raise in the next six months, I'd grab your spot now.
