Bio-Scientist to Founder: Your Own Way
Have you ever wondered if your research could become something more — something that changes lives beyond the lab?
This webclass is for scientists and medical doctors who are curious about what it really means to build a company around their work. No hype. No pressure. Just a thoughtful, honest session designed to help you understand your options — and make good decisions.
Whether you’re a PhD, postdoc, lecturer, or professor, if you're even slightly thinking about the idea of becoming a founder, this is for you.
We’ll talk about:
- Why this path could be life-changing — but isn’t for everyone.
- Common myths around biotech startups (and what’s actually true).
- How to make sense of your options without getting overwhelmed.
- The most avoidable mistakes new founders make — and how to stay focused on what really matters.
- Why the way scientists solve problems is a massive advantage in entrepreneurship.
- How to apply the idea of a growth mindset (yes, from Stanford Professor Carol Dweck’s research) to this next chapter of your career.
You’ll leave with:
- More clarity on whether this path is right for you
- A few guiding principles to help you take the first (or next) step
- And, hopefully, a bit of inspiration to see yourself in a new light
There are no right or wrong paths in your career. This isn’t about persuading you to become a founder — it’s simply an opportunity to explore, reflect, and learn, with tools and perspectives to help you make the decision that feels right for you.
Come as you are. Leave with fresh perspective.
