Five years ago we brought evidence-based entrepreneurship to Life Sciences – teaching the first Lean Lean Launchpad class at UCSF, then the NIH and Imperial College. But it’s been awhile since I was in a room made up entirely of Life Science entrepreneurs. So I was excited to visit IndieBio, a life science accelerator in San Francisco. Think of IndieBio as “Y-Combinator for Life Sciences with a wet lab” and you get what they are trying to do. It’s a 4-month program to help biotech startups build their company and it comes with $250k in seed funding.
I sat down with Arvind Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of IndieBio and talked about how Lean methods apply to Life Sciences.

The first half of the conversation talks about Lean and its origins.
The second half focuses on its applicability in Digital Health and Life Sciences.
