Starting a company can be a scary task, and this is especially true when it's a science company. As the Velocity Science Coach, I mentor early-stage science startups and aspiring entrepreneurs, and help them through the initial stages of their venture. This includes organizing workshops featuring founders of MedTech companies, running a series of workshops on finding a problem that's worth solving, and conducting one-on-one meetings with early-stage entrepreneurs to discuss their progress.
