1. Company Elevator Pitch
We’re building a SaaS platform that solves information overload for biotech operators and investors. Instead of hiring an army of lawyers, analysts, and consultants, they open one workspace that will accelerate the journey to commercialise.
2. What's the best advice you've ever received?
My parents raised me to believe: “If you do kind things, kindness will follow.” Living by that principle has been the cornerstone of my entrepreneurial journey. Over the past decade, former colleagues, friends, and family have stepped up to lend their time, expertise, and energy to this venture. Their support, born from mutual kindness, has kept me moving forward when the path looked hardest.
3. If you could have dinner with any innovator or entrepreneur (past or present), who would it be and why?
I’d choose Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder of HashiCorp. I once met him in a purely technical setting, but after a year of building my own company I have a whole new set of questions. I admire how he stayed hands‑on with product development long after HashiCorp’s early days, shaping a suite of tools I still rely on daily. Speaking with someone who balanced deep technical work with company‑building would be invaluable.
4. What’s a book, podcast, or resource that has influenced you the most?
A bit unconventional, but I keep returning to Hans Zimmer’s interview on composing the Interstellar score. As a musician and software developer, I see parallels between the process of crafting music and writing code, even though the outputs of both are quite different. Zimmer’s description of building, layer by layer, interacting with his team and subject experts always reminds me to approach software with the same creative discipline and emotional intent.
5. How do you unwind at the end of the day?
My wife and I are avid gamers. Most evenings you’ll find us teaming up in online co‑op or relaxing side‑by‑side, trading off single‑player adventures. It’s our shared way to reset and recharge together.
