It enables scientists to raise funds, create value from their work, and distribute that value directly to their communities. Since 2023, Bio has directed over $50m to global researchers, offering an alternative to traditional pharma funding. Backed by investors like Binance Labs, Northpond Ventures, and Animoca Brands, Bio accelerates real-world therapeutics across longevity, brain health, fertility, psychedelic science, and more. ## About the Role We're looking for a Science Community Lead to build and nurture our community of scientists, researchers, and biotech enthusiasts. You'll be the connective tissue between our organization and the broader life sciences world - creating spaces where people want to hang out, learn, and collaborate. This is a role perfect for someone who's passionate about science but wants to build community rather than spend their days at the bench. You'll own our Discord communities and be responsible for making them vibrant, welcoming, and genuinely useful to members. ## What You'll Do - Build and manage our Discord communities - creating channels, setting up bots, designing onboarding flows, and keeping conversations active - Host community events like AMAs, journal clubs, voice chats, and Twitter/X Spaces - Create programming that keeps members engaged and coming back - whether that's highlighting member research, running workshops, or sparking discussions around hot topics - Connect people - identify emerging voices, facilitate introductions, and help members find collaborators - Moderate discussions and maintain a welcoming, inclusive environment - Track community health metrics and experiment with new formats to drive engagement ## Who You Are - You have a Bachelor's or Master's in biology, biochemistry, biotech, or a related field - You're Discord-native - you've spent real time in communities, understand the culture, and ideally have moderated a server before - You're probably already active in online science communities (Twitter/X, Reddit, Discord, etc.) and genuinely enjoy connecting with people - You have strong writing skills - warm, accessible, and human (not corporate) - You're comfortable hopping on voice chats and hosting live events - You take initiative and aren't afraid to try things that might not work - You're organized enough to keep multiple channels, events, and initiatives running smoothly Bonus Points - Experience with Discord bots (MEE6, Carl-bot, or custom) - You run a science meme account, podcast, newsletter, or have built an online following - Familiarity with the biotech/life sciences landscape - who the players are, what people care about - Experience organizing in-person or virtual events ## Why Join Us - Fully remote - work from anywhere - Be at the center of a growing community of scientists and builders - Shape the role and make it your own - Competitive compensation ## About BIO ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Bio Protocol is building a decentralized financial layer for funding and developing early-stage biotechnology through tokenized research networks. - **Entity Type**: Private (Crypto/Biotech Protocol) - **Headquarters**: Global / Remote-first (core team distributed) - **Founded**: 2021 (Ecosystem roots via Molecule AG and VitaDAO) - **Founders**: Paul Kohlhaas (CEO), Tyler Golato (Research Dealflow), Jose Pinto (Legal Counsel), and other core contributors ## Core Business - Primary industry: Decentralized Science (DeSci), Biotechnology, Web3 - Target customers: Researchers, scientists, biotech startups, crypto users, patients, and patient communities - Mission or purpose: To reshape how biotech breakthroughs are born by enabling global communities to create user-owned research networks that fund and develop new biotechnologies from day one ## Products & Services - **[Bio Protocol (V1)]**: A platform that lets anyone fund, develop, and govern tokenized scientific innovations from universities, companies, and researchers. Includes a Launchpad and Liquidity Engine for new BioDAOs. - **[BioAgents (Bio V2)]**: A platform for launching decentralized scientific AI agents that can interact with and advance blockchain-based biotech research. - **[BioXP Loyalty Points]**: Earned through BIO and ecosystem staking, granting first access to Ignition Sales (new project launches). - **[Ignition Sales]**: Low-cap fundraises for promising early-stage science that grow with community traction and scientific progress. - **[IP-Tokens]**: Tokenized intellectual property assets that represent ownership in specific research projects, allowing for value capture from commercialization. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Aggregate market cap of BioDAO tokens has crossed **$200M** (as of mid-2025); BIO token market cap not publicly disclosed. - **Key Metrics**: - **Total Funding**: BIO Genesis raised **$33M+** (November 2024). Binance Labs invested (its first DeSci investment) in November 2024. Pfizer Ventures previously backed VitaDAO ($4.1M in November 2023). - **Treasuries Raised**: Over **$50M** across the ecosystem. - **Funded Research**: Over **$15M** in research funded. - **Community**: Over **90,000** community members. - **Ecosystem TVL**: Over **$2B** in ecosystem value. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Binance Labs, Pfizer Ventures, VitaDAO, Molecule AG, University of Copenhagen, Newcastle University, Long Covid Labs, Quantum Biology DAO, HairDAO, and others. - **Growth Signals**: First IP-Token launched (June 2023), first DAO to file a scientific patent (HairDAO, December 2023), multiple university partnerships, and rapid ecosystem expansion across longevity, women’s health, neurodegeneration, cryopreservation, and psychedelics. ## Competitive Advantages - **First-mover in DeSci**: Bio Protocol is one of the earliest and most established platforms for decentralized biotech funding, with a proven track record of real-world scientific outcomes. - **University & Institutional Partnerships**: Direct collaborations with Newcastle University, University of Copenhagen, and other major research institutions. - **Comprehensive Stack**: Covers the entire lifecycle from fundraising to IP management to commercialization — a full-stack solution for decentralized biotech. - **Network Effects**: A growing ecosystem of specialized BioDAOs (VitaDAO, HairDAO, Quantum Biology DAO, Long COVID Labs, etc.) that share a common financial and coordination layer. - **Regulatory & Patent Expertise**: Already navigated the complex intersection of crypto, IP, and biotech regulation (e.g., filing a scientific patent via DAO). ## Strategic Focus - **Scale the BioDAO Ecosystem**: Continue launching new BioDAOs in specialized therapeutic areas (longevity, women’s health, neurodegeneration, rare diseases, synthetic biology, cryopreservation, psychedelics). - **BioAgents**: Build and deploy a network of AI-powered scientific agents on the protocol. - **BioXP & Liquidity Engine**: Deepen the tokenomics and loyalty program to attract more capital and projects. - **Compress Drug Development**: Aim to shorten timelines from decades to months through community-driven, transparent funding and data sharing. - **Expand University / Research Partnerships**: Bring more academic labs and early-stage science onchain. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven**: Work at the intersection of crypto and biotechnology to accelerate life-saving discoveries. The team describes themselves as “scientists, patients, crypto natives, founders, and engineers dedicated to accelerating science.” - **Remote-first**: The team is globally distributed, with roles open globally. The careers page shows listings for remote positions. - **Culture**: Emphasizes a flat, ownership-driven culture where teams work across research deal flow, product, engineering, AI, marketing, operations, and legal. - **Innovation at Scale**: Be part of building a new category (DeSci) that is attracting major institutional interest from both biotech (Pfizer) and crypto (Binance Labs). - **Growth Opportunity**: Early-stage protocol with significant community traction and clear product roadmap (Bio V1 live, V2 in development). - **Perks**: Not explicitly detailed, but typical for a Web3 protocol includes token options, flexible schedules, and high autonomy. ## Sources 1.
