#BLPN is currently in its Founding Membership Stage, on the path to reaching 500 Founders by JPMorgan Week 2026.
With the support of our Founding Members, we’re expanding into new regional chapters in Boston, Miami, San Francisco, San Diego, and Minneapolis in 2026 - and we’re in discussions with several international partners to further grow our reach and event access worldwide.
You’ll help shape a new era of professional collaboration in Life Sciences. #BLPN Founding Members have initiated an accelerator program, an emerging fund strategy, countless memorable events, podcasts, nonprofits and more.
There are numerous ways to get involved - from being featured on panels to mentoring startups. Your leadership as a Founder will help us define what’s next.
The current Founding Membership fee is $7,500, increasing to $10,000 on January 1, 2026. In 2026, #BLPN will move to a new Member fee structure that includes an initiation fee plus an annual activation fee.
BLPN Membership will never be offered at a better value than it is today.
Founding Members enjoy lifetime membership with no annual dues ever.
Our Lifetime Virtual Membership is currently $2,500/year. Virtual Membership provides full access to weekly virtual panels and preferred access to in-person events.
Let’s build something legendary together.
