Inception Sciences, Inc. is a biotechnology research company founded in 2011 that operates as a drug discovery engine, initially established with Versant Ventures. It maintains operating sites in San Diego, California, and in Canada (Vancouver and Montreal), reflecting a cross-border footprint. The company collaborates with leading academic researchers and major pharmaceutical companies to form new drug discovery programs, offering a defined path to liquidity through pre-negotiated acquisition terms. Its core model centers on Build-to-Buy partnerships, pairing researchers with pharmaceutical partners to develop discovery programs and spin out companies to translate them into therapies, with exclusive options for acquisition on predefined terms. The team includes veterans formerly from Amira Pharmaceuticals, which Bristol Myers Squibb acquired in 2011, and the company has pursued collaborations such as Roche's 2012 partnership to create Inception 3 for sensorineural hearing loss.
