​
We created Wilbe to unlock and empower the most critical yet often overlooked drivers of progress in venture capital: scientists. A new generation of "scientist-builders" is emerging—think computational biologists, chemists, and physicists — who are developing the industrial solutions essential for this century. Despite their transformative potential, this talent pool has been largely neglected by venture capital, academia, and corporate research.
​
At Wilbe, we’ve developed a scalable approach to identify high-performing scientists and support them as founders shaping the industries of the future. Through our flagship program, BSF // Bootcamp for Scientist Founders (formerly Become a Scientist Founder), we work with some of the most exciting scientist-founders at what is often the most pivotal point in their careers.
