SOSV NY (formerly IndieBio NY) is SOSV's New York-based accelerator program focused on biology, life sciences, and therapeutics. Startups receive up to $550K in a pre-seed SAFE investment plus a 6-month immersive residency in an open-plan lab where founders work side-by-side with SOSV partners. The program runs multiple cohorts per year with a 3-step application process (apply online, interview, cohort offer). SOSV NY is an equity investment, not a grant — founders give equity in exchange for capital and program access. As of 2026, SOSV NY portfolio companies include clinical-stage therapeutics companies launched within 5 years of the program.
