From Harvard Labs to Market Leadership
Maryam Alavi, Ph.D., MBA, CSSBB
Founder & CEO | Woman-Owned Business
Dr. Maryam Alavi built BiotechNmed and Launch Lab from scratch—transforming a graduate school vision into a thriving woman-owned business that empowers health innovators worldwide.
Built From the Ground Up
As a woman in science and business, Dr. Alavi didn't inherit resources or receive venture funding. She built everything herself through 18 years of hard-earned expertise, starting as a Research Scientist at Harvard Medical School and advancing to Director of R&D and Director of Sales. Every client relationship, every partnership, every system—she created it through strategic execution and unwavering commitment.
Proven Success
Dr. Alavi successfully brought three healthcare products from concept to profitable market launch, established partnerships with Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, and Eli Lilly, and scaled manufacturing operations achieving 45% cost reduction. She didn't just theorize about commercialization—she lived it, learning through real successes and failures.
The Woman Behind the Business
When founding BiotechNmed, Dr. Alavi started with only her expertise and unshakable belief that health innovators deserved better than costly trial-and-error approaches. She built comprehensive systems, strategic partnerships, and proven frameworks that now help entrepreneurs transform breakthrough innovations into thriving businesses.
Her Mission
Having built a successful business from nothing, Dr. Alavi now empowers other entrepreneurs—especially women and underrepresented innovators—to achieve similar success. Through Launch Lab, she shares the exact strategies she used to build her enterprise, compressing years of learning into focused six-month transformations.
What Makes Her Different
Dr. Alavi isn't just teaching theory—she's sharing real experience from building her own successful company. She understands the challenges of starting from scratch, managing limited resources, and building credibility in male-dominated industries because she's overcome them all.
Her Message: "I built BiotechNmed from a graduate school dream into a business that transforms lives. If I could do it starting from scratch, you can too—but you don't have to figure it out alone."
