For biotech founders navigating the journey from lab to market, funding remains one of the toughest frontiers. Amid the noise of generic pitch events, Whale Tank, now entering its landmark edition, Whale Tank 3.0, has become the gold standard for credibility, community, and capital.
Organized by FABA (Federation of Asian Biotech Associations) and backed by leading Biotech Incubators and investors, Whale Tank is more than a funding platform, it’s a launchpad for innovation, connecting founders with strategic investors, mentors, and global opportunities.
Unlike traditional pitch events, Whale Tank emphasizes science-backed validation and milestone-linked funding, offering startups capital of up to USD 5 million, access to BioE3’s biomanufacturing infrastructure, and deep mentorship.
Founders are drawn to Whale Tank’s investor network of 50+ global and domestic backers who specialize in biotech, medtech, and life sciences.
Being a Whale Tank finalist has become a badge of credibility. Alumni like Synthetic Biology and Module Innovations SynBio have since raised millions, filed global patents, and partnered with leading pharma companies, proof that Whale Tank nurtures science-led entrepreneurs focused on solving real-world challenges.
The platform’s innovation collective model, inspired by the Israeli Kibbutz concept, encourages collaboration, cross-licensing, and shared revenue, creating a sustainable ecosystem where innovation thrives beyond competition.
“We’ve built Whale Tank as a continuum, not a one-day show,” said Dr. Jagadeesh Gandla, COO, FABA. “It’s a long-term partnership between capital and science.”
Whale Tank 3.0 will take place on November 14, 2025, at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, featuring live investor pitches, milestone-linked funding, networking sessions, and global media coverage.
“Whale Tank represents the kind of credibility biotech founders dream of where science meets investor conviction,” said Anuya Nisal, Founder of Serigen Mediproducts BioTechnology.
