SubjectWell is a venture-backed technology startup on an unstoppable mission to disrupt patient recruitment for clinical trials, a $100 billion dollar sector. Clinical trials need millions of qualified patient volunteers, but regularly fall behind schedule because patients are unaware of the benefits of clinical trials or even how to get involved. SubjectWell was founded by two entrepreneurs on their third successful startup finding consumers and matching them with opportunities in digital marketplaces. Our founders realized traditional patient recruitment inefficiently advertises for one clinical trial, research site, and disease at a time. SubjectWell is transforming patient recruitment with the creation of the first and only clinical trials marketplace. We broadly educate people on the benefits of research participation and allow interested patients to choose from and be screened against multiple clinical trials in the marketplace. Since 2012, SubjectWell’s high-touch approach has helped over 115 pharmaceutical and biotech companies find qualified patients in over 175 therapeutic areas. SubjectWell is looking for exceptional people, who are passionate about their field of expertise. Your work will build an innovative healthcare startup that is helping patients access promising care and is speeding the delivery of new medical treatments to the world. Here is your chance to really make a difference, both in your career and in the lives of millions.

World demand for plastics and rubber is nearly insatiable, declining just 2.5% CAGR due to COVID-19 but expected to grow by 8% CAGR to over $1.6 trillion by 2023 (citation). Of the 300 million tons produced each year, less than 8% is recycled, creating massive harm to the planet’s ecosystem and peoples.

We are delivering two products today: Biothermoplastics - a feedstock used by regional and global plastics manufacturers who want lower carbon impact while maintaining the same cost and performance characteristics as traditional petrochemical feedstock. We are uniquely positioned to serve the commodity plastics market with this material. BttR Board - a building material analogous to fiberglass using biomass and resin. This material is targeted for refugee and disaster assistance temporary housing (first in Bangladesh and India, then expanding to other regions as supply chains and input materials permit), and as decorative materials for custom homes and offices. Applied Bioplastics is a manufacturing company delivering our biothermoplastics and BttR Board, a research institute advancing the science of biopolymers, and a humanitarian organization working with local and global organizations to provide jobs and housing to impoverished areas.
