Some of the most innovative companies in today’s biotech industry are being led by women. Many of these women began their careers at Biotech companies before breaking out and starting their own.
At Scispot, we believe in equal representation at the top of the life science industry. That’s why we will feature more women leaders in our blogs and Talk is Biotech! Interviews who are creating a better future and inspiring the next generation.
Here is a list of 20 innovative women-founded biotech companies chosen by the Scispot team:

Located in Singapore, Shiok Meats produces cell-based meat and seafood as an alternative to traditional meat products. This cell-based approach lets customers enjoy a meat-alternative that has the same taste, texture, and additional nutrients as the real thing.
Lab Management Software for Innovative Biotech Companies
Scispot has become the primary lab management software of choice for numerous modern biotech companies.
Scispot creates a connected digital replica of these innovative biotech companies. It centralizes their company-wide data, templatizes routine research and automates non-scientific tasks. It makes other lab software such as electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) and lab information management systems (LIMS) redundant.
Companies use Scispot's operating platform to manage their research projects, inventory, samples, and partners all in one spot. Request a demo to learn how you can accelerate your research using Scispot.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
