As a biotech founder, you should be working on your core mission. But often, you’re spending precious hours trying to track down a shipment, negotiating vendor discounts, or calling customer service to find out why your materials haven’t arrived.
You didn’t build a company to run a purchasing department, but for most of us, procurement is a never-ending distraction, and it steals time you need to advance your mission.
Consider the impact of DIY lab procurement:
- Your experiment stalls because a key material is delayed.
- You spend time and money trying to track down orders.
- You waste time trying to negotiate with vendors, and you can’t find an expert to talk to on the phone to help you with your order.
- The list goes on.
In addition to taking time from your mission, this is also a cost. You likely are overpaying for your lab supplies because you don’t have the volume purchasing power to get significant discounts, like larger research companies do. When your startup is lean, every dollar counts. In addition to taking time from your mission, inefficient biotech lab procurement can burn a significant portion of your cash runway, impacting your ability to achieve milestones, secure funding, and move your breakthroughs forward.
Mission Booster Procurement
What if your lab supplies arrived exactly when you needed them—without constant follow-up emails and order tracking? What if you had a procurement partner handling the administrative burden while you focused on research and growth?
Mission Booster Procurement was built by a founder who has worked with six different startup procurement solutions. As a result, we understand how frustrating and time-consuming procurement can become. Our service removes that burden while helping biotech companies reduce costs.
Rather than requiring new software, licenses, or complicated workflows, we provide a fully managed procurement service. You maintain complete control over purchasing decisions while we handle the operational work behind the scenes.
Stay in Control
You remain 100% in charge of your purchasing process. We never place an order or substitute an item without your explicit approval.
Reduce Supply Costs
Through relationships with more than 150 vendors, we combine purchasing volume across multiple clients to negotiate discounts that most startups cannot secure independently. For example, one client reduced lab supply costs by 30% and extended its runway by six months.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Our pricing model is straightforward. We charge a 5–10% administration fee on purchases placed through our team. There are no subscriptions, software fees, licensing costs, or hidden charges. If you don’t use the service, you don’t pay.
Get Time Back for Science
Submitting a request takes only a few minutes. After that, we manage the entire process. Our team places orders the same day, handles backorders and returns, manages regulatory paperwork, and tracks shipments. Consequently, you spend less time on administrative tasks and more time advancing your research.
Human Support, Not Another Platform
Unlike software-only solutions, we provide direct human support. You can reach us by email, phone, or text, and we typically respond within one business day—often much faster.
Mission Booster Saves
Our procurement services have delivered measurable results for biotech companies at multiple stages of growth.
Pre-Seed Success
One startup saved $68,733.15 in a single year, recovered more than 70 hours of staff time, and extended its runway by six months simply by outsourcing procurement activities.
Growth-Stage Impact
The benefits become even more significant as organizations scale. One life sciences partner saved $1,166,118.29 in a single year through our procurement services.
These results reflect the broader ecosystem from which Mission Booster emerged. Built on the foundation of the BADASS Labs community, Mission Booster supports companies in an environment where member organizations have achieved success rates of 89–95% and collectively raised more than $900 million.
By outsourcing procurement, you reduce supply costs, eliminate hours of sourcing and order management, and minimize administrative back-and-forth. More importantly, you redirect that time, money, and energy toward scientific progress, team growth, and company-building.
Every hour spent chasing orders is an hour not spent advancing your vision. Mission Booster helps you reclaim those hours.
Focus on Breakthroughs, Not Purchasing

Stop spending valuable time tracking orders, managing returns, and negotiating vendor pricing. Instead, focus on scientific discovery and growing your company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Savings
Q: How do we reduce lab supply costs?
A: Because we aggregate purchasing volume across our client base and maintain relationships with more than 150 vendors, we can negotiate pricing that is often up to 30% below list price. Most startups cannot access these discounts on their own.
Q: What’s the pricing for your service?
A: Our pricing is simple: we charge an administration fee of 5–10% on purchases made through our service. There are no subscriptions, software licenses, or hidden fees. If you don’t place orders through us, you don’t pay. We also offer free trials for many startups.
Purchasing Process
Q: Am I giving up control of my purchasing?

Q: How fast are your orders placed?
A: Requests submitted during business hours are typically placed the same day. Most order requests take less than one to two minutes to submit. Afterward, we handle follow-up communications, backorders, returns, shipment tracking, and paperwork.
Is Mission Booster Right for You?
Q: Is Mission Booster Procurement the right fit for my company?
A: If you’re an early-stage biotech company spending valuable research time sourcing and managing supplies, our service can help you recover time and potentially extend your runway.
