Beyond the Purpose

The Beyond the Purpose podcast from BioX, a BioTalent company, explores the people, decisions and leadership stories behind scaling life sciences companies. What drives exceptional people to build, lead and scale life sciences companies, and what can we learn from them? Beyond the Purpose surfaces the human stories behind life sciences companies. We speak to the founders who built something from nothing, the operators who held it together under pressure, the investors who backed conviction over certainty and the scientists who turned discovery into real-world impact. Each conversation explores why people choose to build, how leadership accelerates performance, and what it actually takes to scale a company in one of life sciences' longest, most heavily regulated development cycles.

  Beyond the Purpose: Murat Tunaboylu on funding, resilience and building for purpose

  Sep 22, 202625 min

  In episode two of Beyond the Purpose, hosts James Cox and Jay Webster sit down with Murat Tunaboylu, CEO and co-founder of Antiverse, who brings almost a decade of experience building a tech bio company from the ground up. The conversation centres on the realities of scaling under pressure: the structured, criteria-led approach behind Antiverse's $9.3 million Series A, the personal toll of fundraising and founder life, and why radical transparency with his team has built trust rather than undermined it. Murat also shares his view on where tech bio is heading next, and the advice he'd give to first-time founders considering the leap. It's a candid, grounded conversation that continues what this podcast set out to do: understanding what drives exceptional people to build, lead and scale life sciences companies, and what others can learn from them.
