SUMMARY:From PhD to Founder: Building and Selling a Startup
DESCRIPTION:From lab bench to boardroom: what does it actually take to build (and sell) a biotech company? Join us for a fireside chat with Kristina Fontanez\, PhD — a two-time founder who scaled her last startup\, Fluent BioSciences\, from 2 to 40+ employees\, raised $19M+\, and led it to an $85M acquisition by Illumina. Now she’s building Adept Scientific\, an AI platform tackling a problem she saw firsthand: life science labs have no real-time visibility into how their products actually perform.
