Public description

About the program

Petri is a Boston-based pre-seed accelerator and fund for bioengineering and synthetic biology founders, launched in 2019 with backing from Pillar VC. It was announced as a 12-month program that pairs capital with lab access and a mentor network drawn from the Boston biotech community. It targets very early, often pre-company, scientific teams.
