Join the Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Center Wellness Fellows and Venture Capital firm 50 Years for an evening seminar on the journey from scientist to founder! Led by partner Dr. Alex Teng, you'll learn how to transform your research into a generational company, identify the constraints and bottlenecks that will shape our future, recognize ideas worth dedicating a decade of your life to, and navigate IP, funding, market selection, and customer acquisition. Dr. Teng has helped hundreds of scientists and engineers transition from the lab bench to founding deep tech startups, including companies like Plasmidsaurus and Clippership.
