Panacea Stars is a globally leading venture builder for Bio-AI and healthtech.

Healthcare is hard—slow, capital-heavy, and unforgiving. Too many breakthroughs stall in the lab.

We believe the future of medicine will be engineered with pace and precision—at the intersection of biology and intelligence.

Whether you're exploring a concept, searching for a co-founder, advancing IP, or gearing up to scale—our mission is to help you building it.
