But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you'll help scale cures to patients that need them sooner. We've developed fully-automated cell manufacturing sites, powered by custom robotics - to scale treatments to millions of patients. Last year, patients were cured of diseases like Parkinson's and vision loss using stem-cell derived cells - but today these Regenerative Medicines are produced by hand, meaning they're too expensive and hard to scale. With our automated manufacturing sites, these therapies can now be scaled globally at low cost. We've announced partnerships across multiple therapies so far ranging from Parkinson's, to hearing loss, to bone repair - and raised $37m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Within the next 12 months, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson's patient brains. We've assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks ## The Role This is a foundational role for the BD team and you’ll be joining on the ground floor of a business that is helping scale regenerative medicines to as many patients as possible. Having entered the regenerative medicine space only 2 years ago we have already established ourselves as a leader and developed a groundswell of market support in the field. Your job is to take what we’ve proven out and maximise the surface area of opportunity for the company by scaling our Proof of Value (PoV) study framework. This role reports directly to our Co-Founder & CCO, Ignacio. ## What you’ll be doing - Driving top-of-funnel through dogged and creative prospecting through to close. This is a full-funnel role where you will generate your own pipeline. We do not have SDRs or a marketing team yet so you’ll need to apply the hunter mindset that has gotten us the success to date. - Running discovery with scientific and economic buyers. You'll be across the table from VPs of Manufacturing, Heads of CMC, CEOs and founders and you'll need to be credible with all of them quickly and authentically. - Selling on value vs price or features. Teams work with us because we buy them time to data, market and scale. If you sell on a feature list or by negotiating against yourself, this isn’t for you. - Qualifying deeply and killing dead deals fast. We run MEDDPICC-style with go/no-go calls to protect the pipeline. Happy ears will lose you time and opportunities. - Working with our internal teams and customer teams to design effective proof of value studies that prove the technical fit and the ROI of our platform at a level executives will understand. You’ll keep internal and external teams organised, up to date and running on time. - What you learn in the field changes what we build and how we do business. You'll be expected to capture and share insights. - Working the floor. Conferences, events and dinners are some of our highest ROI activities. You’ll prepare the target list, execute outreach, chase down prospects and earn customer trust by being helpful and helping them succeed with our team and product. - Going above and beyond to win customers' trust and make their programme succeed. For example, helping your customer find a critical consultant or finding a key supplier for our team to make our offering fit their needs. ## What you’ll need to demonstrate - Multiple years selling complex deals into biotech, cell and gene therapy, bioprocessing, CDMO services, or life-science tools. Deal sizes from six to seven figures with multi-stakeholder buying processes. - A track record of selling an innovation from a company few have heard of. If your numbers came from a brand that opened doors for you, this will be a tough gig. - High ownership in a low-resource environment. You've built your own lists, written your own decks, built your own ROI models and you’re hungry and willing to do work that sits outside the usual job description. - Enough scientific fluency to earn trust. - Willingness to travel up to 40% of time including to the UK, Asia and across the US. - Rigour under speed. - Grit. The hours can be long but you’re driven by the patient impact your work has. By helping our customers succeed, this role helps bring life-saving medicines to patients sooner. The market opportunity is huge, but the opportunity to impact potentially billions of lives is what drives us at Mytos. ## About Mytos ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Mytos is building the world’s first fully automated cell manufacturing platform to scale regenerative medicines from clinical trials to millions of patients at low cost. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, $24M+ total funding) - **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2016 - **Founders**: Ali Afshar (CEO) and Ignacio Willats ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Biotechnology / Regenerative Medicine / Automated Cell Therapy Manufacturing - **Target customers**: Clinical-stage cell therapy companies (B2B, Enterprise CDMO), large pharma R&D groups - **Mission**: To scale regenerative medicines to millions of patients by automating the production of stem cell-derived therapies ## Products & Services - **iDEM™ Platform**: Proprietary automated cell culture system that uses standard 2D T-flasks to seamlessly port manual protocols into closed, scalable automation without compromising biology. Reduces labour per batch by up to 10x and cleanroom footprint per batch by another 10x. - **Mytos CDMO**: A fully automated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) powered by iDEM technology. Site 1 is housed within the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult’s 80,000 sqft facility in Stevenage, UK. Offers end-to-end manufacturing services including Process & Analytical Development, Regulatory Support, and batch production with up to 50% lower batch costs compared to manual CDMOs. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of over $24M (Series A led by Buckley Ventures in November 2023; prior rounds include Y Combinator, IQ Capital, and TBD Angels) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator, Buckley Ventures, IQ Capital; founders/execs from Wayve, Dropbox, Segment, Mercury, Sana, BMS, Revolut; partnerships with Pluristyx, NOVADIP Biosciences, StemSight, and Rinri Therapeutics - **Growth Signals**: Headcount of ~27 employees (+11.6% YoY); announced three cell therapy manufacturing deals in September 2025; launched automated CDMO in October 2025; first in-patient dosing targeted for 2027; 5 active job postings; strong LinkedIn follower growth (+39.4% yearly) ## Competitive Advantages - **Biology-preserving automation**: Uses the same 2D T-flask format as manual culture, meaning no need to re-engineer existing protocols — a major barrier to adoption for competing solutions. - **Fleet architecture**: Unlike large robotic-arm solutions, the iDEM fleet has no single point of failure, increasing reliability for clinical/commercial production. - **Cost leadership**: Claims up to 50% lower batch costs vs. manual CDMOs and 10x labour reduction, making therapies economically viable at scale. - **End-to-end CDMO model**: Integrates process development, regulatory support, and manufacturing under one roof, reducing tech transfer delays. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale the CDMO**: Expand global manufacturing sites beyond the UK (plans in place for a series of global sites). - **Clinical validation**: Move from R&D partnerships to clinical-stage manufacturing, with cells produced on iDEM entering patients by 2027. - **Partnership pipeline**: Continue signing deals across multiple therapeutic areas (Parkinson’s, blindness, bone repair, hearing loss) to diversify revenue and de-risk technology. - **Hiring for growth**: Actively recruiting across engineering, quality, and scientific leadership to support CDMO ramp-up. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven impact**: Directly work on curing Parkinson’s, blindness, and spinal cord injuries at scale — a rare combination of deep tech and patient impact. - **Culture & team**: Rated 4.5/5 on employer review platforms (Culture: 4.4, Career: 4.6). Team includes engineers from Dyson, Autodesk, and Matic Robots alongside Nature-published scientists. - **Work location**: On-site in London (HQ at 80 Wood Lane) with additional offices in Newark, California and Billingstad, Norway. - **Growth opportunity**: Early-stage company (27 people) with clear trajectory to clinical manufacturing — offers outsized ownership and impact for early hires. - **Perks & environment**: Fast-paced startup environment; cross-disciplinary collaboration between hardware, software, and biology teams; close ties to Y Combinator and top-tier biotech investors. ## Sources 1.
