The Future of Work in Life Sciences

We’ve been building life science communities for 14 years because we believe in the power of personal networks to unlock your career potential.

For our next chapter, we’re building upon the success of our community to help solve today's greatest challenges in hiring and career development.

There is a better, more equitable way to connect talent with opportunity … and we’re building it.

The BioBuzz Talent Lab

BioBuzz is developing the a fully integrated community & hiring platform for the life sciences.

• On-demand hiring through a two-sided talent marketplace
• Validated skills & vetted talent
• Matchmaking utilizing predictive AI 
• Integrated community platform
• Career resources for learning and development
• Cultivated resources around regional biotech hubs to harness the uniqueness of each market

The Current Model is Broken

The current model for hiring is broken. And we would know. Our founder has spent nearly 20 years in the life science staffing and recruiting industry. We also hear the challenges that our 50+ clients face each and every time they need to hire.

Not unlike floppy disks, pagers, and Blockbuster... it's time to move on and adopt a better way to hire in life sciences. BioBuzz is ready to deliver the Netflix experience to life science careers.

Delivering Better Outcomes

BioBuzz has already built a community of tens of thousands of life science professionals and employers who we connect through our regionally-focused programming, recruitment events, training, and digital media.

With the launch of the Talent Lab we will be able to connect all employers and professionals directly with less friction and better outcomes.

Layering on top of BioBuzz's existing community platform, BioBuzz's Talent Lab will deliver a truly personalized career and hiring experience that delivers continuous engagement between employers and candidates across biotech hubs.

Jobseekers will get access to a personalized career network; with tailored resources, news, events, connections, and jobs delivered directly to you.

Employers (large and small) will be able to achieve greater workforce flexibility, and the ability to hire faster, at a lower cost, all while accessing a broader, more diverse talent pool backed by real skills data.

Our Community is Our Secret Sauce.

BioBuzz’s growth story has written itself because we've remained community-focused, community-forward, and community-driven, with:

• A growing community of 30k+
• A national audience of 400k+
• An annual client roster of 50+
• AND year-over-year revenue growth operating in 3 of the top 10 US life science markets: BioHealth Capital Region (DC/MD/VA), Greater Philadelphia (PA/NJ/DE), Research Triangle Park (NC)

Our foundation is firm and we are primed for this next stage of growth. And we're bringing our community along with us.

The Opportunity is Limitless.

The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace and work is no exception. 

The Work Tech product category is forecasted to approach $1 Trillion by 2026 with Hiring platforms expected to reach $244 billion.

Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, TopTal, MarketHire Incredible Health have built successful talent marketplaces for other fields. It’s time that we bring this model into the life sciences.

Greater Value Over Traditional Methods

Similar models have shown to create greater value than traditional methods. Our expectation is that the Talent Lab will be able to deliver improved efficiency and cost reduction for our clients.

We have a clear path to new customers by selling into the thousands of existing staffing buyers and offering a better, cheaper alternative to traditional life sciences staffing, recruiting and job board services.

As an online recruitment platform, we've positioned BioBuzz with a clear product-market fit to sell into the top budgeted purchase categories for Talent Acquisitions departments.

See the attachment at the bottom for more info about the $40M revenue projection. Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.

How We Make Money:

• Employers pay a subscription to access our talent marketplace platform.
• Employers can also pay a premium for additional advertising or recruitment marketing features.
• Employers can hire and payroll contractors directly from the platform at a lower cost than staffing firms.
• Jobseekers pay membership subscriptions to access premium career resources like coaches, resume writing, training, etc.

Valuation and Market Insights:

We want you to feel confident in the valuation we are offering for BioBuzz Networks. We believe that this is an accurate value based on our long history and established brand, our existing record of sales and customer success, the market size and niche, as well as other similar comps in the market.

The hiring technology we're building is based on other talent marketplace platforms which have proven to be successful in other industries, but have not yet been applied to life sciences.

Companies such as UpWork, Fiverr, Freelancer.com, Toptal, MarketerHire, TaskRabbit and others have paved the way in this market & give us great confidence in our strategy. BuiltIn is another relevant comparable that began similar to BioBuzz (Read their story). They operate both as a media site and a hiring platform, but they focus almost exclusively on startups in the Tech industry.

Grandview Research reported that the global freelance platforms market size was valued at USD 4.39 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5% from 2023 to 2030. 

Our goal is to build BioBuzz into the dominant community and hiring platform across the top 25 major US life science hubs over the next 5-10 years, and position the company for a 15-20X exit through IPO or acquisition.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved in any other ways, please feel free to reach out to us.

Together, let's keep the life science talent market buzzin'!

A Note From Our Founder:

I want to thank you for bee-lieving in BioBuzz and in our mission.

BioBuzz started 14 years ago with what I thought would be just a networking event to help recently laid-off job seekers build their networks and connect with employers. Fast forward to today and we have become a vibrant community that is strengthening the life science workforce and building more connected regional biotech ecosystems.

In addition to leading BioBuzz, I have spent nearly two decades running life science recruiting businesses, working with hundreds of employers to hire top talent, and helping thousands of people get new jobs. I honestly feel that my entire career has prepared me for this important mission that we are out to achieve at BioBuzz.

With your support, I’m ready to take everything that I’ve learned to drive this mission forward with a passionate pursuit of seeing our vision become reality - BioBuzz will become the premier community and talent platform for the life science industry!

The basic truth that we all realize is, community matters… especially in life sciences where it takes a village of diverse people, companies, and ideas to advance medical innovation.

That's why BioBuzz matters. 

We matter to those who rely on us to help grow their networks and careers. We matter to the employers who rely on us to tell their story and match them with niche talent. We matter for all of the service providers and consultants in our community who look to BioBuzz to build awareness for them and their solutions so they can help companies to innovate and succeed.  And we matter to the biotech hubs who are stronger because of the buzz we create.

Most importantly - we matter for the patients who we are all ultimately working for.

Thank you for being part of our community and joining us on this mission!
