Biochemical engineer
Building toward biotech

I'm Mateo. I obsess over the business of science, and share what I learn, the sports I play, and the places I go.If you ever see me walking down the street, I'm probably thinking about how to bring a biotech to life, or replaying a quote from a podcast that won't leave my head.

Currently working on

It turns out you really can only connect the dots looking back. What started as curiosity for marketing, storytelling, and sales. Slowly took me back to where I actually want to be playing -> biotech.Today, all the dots point to the work I’m doing now:

Currently home to BD Signal: LinkedIn ghostwriting for BD leaders at CROs and biotechs. The pharma partners and biotech founders you want to reach start the chat themselves.Three clients at a time. 15 days trial, no commitment.

Past work that shaped how I move.

About

A biochemical engineer, now doing a master's in molecular biotechnology & bioinformatics at the University of Milan.Believe it or not, it was a movie that brought me here. The desire to help as many people as I can kept me. 1+1 made 2, and I became obsessed with the intersection of science and business.Living fueled by curiosity and always looking for the next challenge. More about what I'm working on above, what's happening behind the scenes in the blog, and my full story just below.

Truth is.

My goal is to share the multi-decade journey of building a biotech. All the growth, mistakes, and discoveries along the way.If you take anything from this, let it be this: study how others did it, then remix it into something that feels like you.I was born in Quito, Ecuador. Ever since I can remember, I have been competitive and curious. My days were full of sports, magic, music, art and adventures. Feeding endless curiosity about how things work.

Behind the scenes

I train like a multi-sport athlete. Long walks, notebooks full of ideas, founders' biographies, and podcasts that hit a little too close.Building a life that feels aligned, not inherited. Looking for people on a similar path. Founders, scientists, athletes, explorers. DM me.I don’t write often.
Only when something feels worth sharing. If you’re curious, check out my blog (Mateo's Rabbit Burrow)
