Steve Butts - CEO Arrivo Bio at BIO Boston 2025

From BIO Boston: Steve Butts, CEO of Arrivo BioVentures

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Butts — a five-time biotech founder and the CEO of Arrivo BioVentures.

Steve has built and exited multiple companies, and now he's applying everything he’s learned to build Arrivo with precision: lean, capital-efficient, and structured for smart growth.

We talk about:
— How to build programs that big pharma wants

— Why Arrivo structures its assets in separate subsidiaries

— Navigating the current market as a small, focused team

— And the mindset it takes to keep building in tough conditions

Steve’s approach is clear, disciplined, and proven - this is biotech company-building done right.

This episode is part of a series of in-person interviews from BIO Boston with some of the sharpest leaders in the industry.

More to come.
