BLPN Members and Guests will elevate their BIO Week experience through a curated schedule of dealmaker-focused events hosted between The Radian Rooftop and UC San Diego’s Park & Market building. 

The week begins  with our rooftop Welcome Reception and concludes  at our rooftop Closing Reception, with Money Ball, Field of Dreams,  Fat Tuesday, and countless opportunities for game-changing connections in between.

BLPN Members include investors, startups, advisors, institutions creating an environment where conversations quickly turn into partnerships, investments, collaborations, and action.

At the center of every BLPN event is our Mantra:

Find Someone to Help. Repeat.

Thank you to our Supporters:

“BLPN is a tremendous organization and what I will say to my fellow founders and CEOs: is that you persist…Believe in what you are doing because we need you to succeed…and this is a great collective of humans and founders that are sharing this mission.”

— Rob Boyce CEO Plakous Therapeutics (JPM2025 Interview)

“It’s incredible to be a part of the BLPN community…I’m a big believer in the power of collaboration. BLPN’s mantra of ‘helping each other’ really resonated with us. It’s like that quote Christiaan frequently references at meetings: ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together’.”

— Hannah Zhang CEO Zepto Life Technology (JPM2025 Interview)

“I love BLPN. The mantra of BLPN is something I strongly believe in. The life sciences are all about this mantra. We are trying to make life better for people who are suffering with disease through our therapies and technologies. In a way, BLPN is a microcosm of Life Science’s underlying mission to help people.”

— Ludovica Labruna CEO Magnetic Tides (JPM2025 Interview)
