NEXA Bio Partners is the funding partner for biotech and life science teams across the full capital stack.

Most advisors do one thing. Grant writers write grants. Bankers run rounds. What biotech founders actually need is a partner who maps the whole picture: which non-dilutive awards to go after, which venture and family office conversations to open in parallel, and how each dollar changes the next.

That's what we do.

→ Non-dilutive capital: We identify and win the highest-fit NIH, BARDA, DoD CDMRP, ARPA-H, and foundation opportunities. Reviewer-ready narratives. Multi-submission strategy. Not one shot. Multiple shots on goal across federal fiscal cycles.

→ Curated strategic network of VCs and family offices: Warm introductions that facilitate potential investment opportunities, licensing deals, and collaborations with pharma and other strategic partners. We don't broker transactions. We open the right doors at the right time.

→ Match funding: For awarded projects, we work with aligned investors in our network to explore co-funding — so a federal grant can unlock additional deployable capital on top.

About 40% of the companies we work with receive additional VC funding from our network. Some have gone on to close follow-on rounds of over $25M.

Who we work with: US-based biotech and medtech companies, 2-50 employees, pre-IPO. Typical engagement unlocks $300K-$5M+ in non-dilutive capital and a qualified pipeline of equity conversations. Goal: 12-24 months of runway without giving up more equity than you have to.

Our team and advisors — former NIH program directors, federal grant reviewers (NIH, DoD, NSF, ERC), and biotech operators — have collectively helped secure over $500M in non-dilutive funding for life science companies.

Worth mentioning: 70% of FDA-approved products received US government funding before commercialization. A grant isn't just cash. It's a stamp of approval that accelerates every conversation that follows.
