Bioexpert Network
Bioexpert Network (BEN) is a Barcelona-based community of life sciences experts, owned by Capital Cell, a European crowdfunding platform for health and biotech startups. Unlike a typical fee-for-service expert network, BEN experts review startup pitch decks and R&D proposals for free, earning investment credits rather than being paid for consultations.
About Bioexpert Network
Bioexpert Network was started in 2017 and is owned by Capital Cell, an alternative investment platform for life sciences and biotech based in Barcelona. Rather than a fee-for-service expert network that clients pay to access, BEN is an invite-only community of life sciences experts - PhD-level scientists, physicians, biotech entrepreneurs, and industry consultants - who evaluate startup pitch decks and R&D proposals submitted to Capital Cell's crowdfunding platform. Experts review each proposal's science, team, and business potential, and only the most positively reviewed projects move forward to a public crowdfunding campaign on Capital Cell. In exchange for reviewing, experts can earn investment credits they can use to invest in the companies they've evaluated, rather than being paid a consulting fee.

BEN's focus areas are within life sciences - medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and diagnostics - a specialization it shares with more conventional fee-based networks like Techspert.io, Experts OnTap, Atheneum, and IDR - though those firms operate on a standard paid-consultation model, unlike BEN.
