BioGenerator, the startup arm of BioSTL, is empowering early-stage, underrepresented founders through its Venture Fellows program, supported by JSMF. The fellowship combines non-dilutive funding, investor-side training, and entrepreneurship education to help founders accelerate their companies. Current fellows Guillermo Rivera-Gonzalez (CapyBio) and Grant Downes (TrueBind Bio) are advancing impactful innovations in healthcare and research tools while engaging with the broader St. Louis community. By pairing capital with mentorship and real-world experience, BioGenerator is helping founders build and scale companies in a more inclusive innovation ecosystem.
