Providing practical knowledge to entrepreneurs is one of the core goals of Heartland BioVentures. We approach this from multiple points of view. From a hands-on perspective, Heartland BioVentures works closely with entrepreneurs to navigate the path of commercialization in a timely manner. Heartland BioVentures brings to client companies a wealth of knowledge and understanding that comes from decades of experience in starting companies and successfully running them. We bring an arsenal of invaluable lessons learned to help companies avoid mistakes and become smarter, faster growing companies.

As we can’t meet personally with all of the companies in need of services, we provide a comprehensive library of templates to help companies in Kansas get a better start and a strong knowledge base for everything from writing a business plan to what should be included in a non-disclosure agreement. These are meant to be a point of departure in the learning process and outline the fundamental boilerplate structure that can be used as a starting point for asking the right questions and understanding the essentials. It is critical to enter a conversation with an investor or strategic partner as prepared as possible, and these templates (in MS Word, MS Excel or MS Powerpoint) are a starting point.
