BIO BAZAAR E-BAY FOR LIFE SCIENTISTS The biobazaar will be the e-bay for life science tools
A MARKETPLACE FOR LIFE SCIENCE TOOLS
CHICKEN-EGG PROBLEM: CUSTOMERS - SUPPLIERS
MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS = 35 BN €/YEAR, 10% GROWTH
With the BioBazaartoday’s PAIN
The market is huge and there is no centralised marketplace that would allow a comparison of price and quality of the products. While antibody-online started to gather suppliers to resolve the chicken-egg problem of getting suppliers and customers on e-commerce platforms, we will use the strategy which made e-bay the biggest e-marketplace.
ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS: GENETIC MATERIAL
A FUNDAMENTAL TOOL WHICH CANNOT BE BOUGHT
SCIENTIFICPROGRESS
To attract scientists, we will help them deal with a fundamental tools they are using in their experiments: genetic material.
GROWING USING E-BAY STRATEGY
A NICHE MARKET: FRUIT FLY PEER TO PEER TRANSACTION
: 1 MIO €/Y , 4% GROWTH
today’s PAIN With the BioBazaar
We start with a small, niche market: Drosophila fruit fly exchange. Accessing transgenic flies is nowadays ineffective, a problem which is recognised by the community. Allowing P2P transaction, we will allow fast and automated fly sharing (we sell contact information, but do not deal with flies directly).
1: A FREE FLY STOCK MANAGER
HALFWAY AFTER 1 MONTH OF MARKETING
GOAL:
• 70 labs (i.e. 300 users)
• 25 000 fly lines in the network“Put your stock list online,
but keep it safe, keep it secret”
Our first move into this market was the production of a stock management software, where scientist can access their stock list online, while keeping it safe and secret. Our goal is to gather enough users to make fly sharing possible, getting a supply of about 25 000 fly lines.
MVP: WWW.DROSOSHARE.NET
59 USERS, 42 LABS AND 10974 FLY LINES AVAILABLE

Short description Blog Stock list backup Video tour
Our MVP platform is online since october 2013, but we started marketing one month ago. We are now halfway toward our objective with 42 labs and about 11 000 fly lines in our network.
STEP2: GM EXCHANGE PLATFORM
order
Forwarding GM request to the right sharing partner
PER TRANSACTION FEE GROWING FROM A NICHE
= 1 mio € / year
= 3-6 mio € / year
5-10 MIO € / YEAR
= 0.5 - 2mio € / year = 0.5-1 mio € / year
others
The next step is to make fly exchange possible. Then we will apply the same tool for the other genetic material, getting users from different niche market on the platform. Each niche will get its design and unique url, while the websites will be compatible and based on the same backend.
GM SOURCES = COMPETITION AT STEP 2

In comparison with existing solutions to obtain genetic material, the biobazaar will be much faster, slightly cheaper and automated
STEP3: EXPANSION TO COMMERCIAL SUPPLIERS
Unique marketplace for LST
COMMISSION ON SALES GROWING LIKE E-BAY
• large customer basis to offer
• customers used to buy on the bazaar
• further expansions possible
We will then be able to offer suppliers with a platform gathering a large proportion of their customers, which will be grouped into labs and used to buy services there.
