Research with translation potential in underfunded areas of female reproductive health is our focus. We particularly want to fund the projects that are ‘moonshots’ – potentially revolutionary. On occasion we will also fund more ‘basic’ research. Current areas of focus:
• Ovarian and reproductive aging
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome & Uterine fibroids
• Endometriosis
You apply with a grant-style application, our team of senior reviewers (professors, scientists, biotech operators, VC investors) will provide initial feedback. We will help you polish the project to comport with industry-standards for R&D, and then you submit a final application – following which we quickly provide feedback and next steps.
(Note: Existing biotech & femtech startups are also eligible for funding from AthenaDAO.
No, it’s not necessary to already own project IP.
After you fill out the application form, our internal team will do a preliminary assessment and get in touch if additional information is required. A panel of senior scientists will then assess the current project cohort. After projects are approved we will negotiate the deal terms with the appropriate institution. Depending on the project, funding could be provided in full or separated by milestones.
When funding is finalized we will ask for quarterly updates on the projects.
