Twenty-five years inside biotech deals —
now working for your next milestone.

A rare, on-the-ground view of what early-stage companies actually need.

Dr. Jahan Ali works with biotech founders to move their companies forward — drawing on 25 years spent building biotech companies from the inside, negotiating partnerships, investing in early-stage ventures, and designing the programs that help founders reach their next milestone.

She has negotiated a wide range of agreements, including in- and out-licensing, research collaborations, manufacturing agreements, and stock purchase agreements — experience built across roles as Director of Business Development at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, a licensing professional at the Hospital for Special Surgery and Mount Sinai, and life science investment lead at the Partnership Fund, a private fund founded by Henry Kravis.

At the Bioventure eLab at Weill Cornell, she built an investor conference, mentorship program, and startup competitions for founders. At SymBiosis Capital, she secured a multi-million-dollar commitment from investors to grow the regional life science ecosystem.

In her consulting work, she helps companies secure non-dilutive funding — including SBIR/STTR, U.S. EDA, New York State, and foundation grants — and build the market research and business plans behind it.
