What distinguishes the QB3 early-stage mentoring program is the scientific expertise of our mentors. And it makes a difference, when you're operating with limited money. When I talk to founders in our program, they consistently tell me that their mentors are advising them which experiments they need to do to get data for investors, or which indication they should pivot to pursue. A recent highlight: Radar Therapeutics, whose mentor is our director David Schaffer, closed their pre-seed round! They'll soon be pitching seed investors -- when they moved in, it was just co-founders Eerik Kaseniit and Sophia Lugo 卢松雅, but now they're up to six employees, plus #QWEST intern Quan Mai! Dave, a Berkeley professor who has co-founded eight companies, is advising Radar on delivery methods and therapeutic targets for their RNA-based therapies. Interested in connecting with our mentors to boost your startup? Apply by October 15. https://lnkd.in/g49sh6N5 Xue Snow G.

“People Join People” This year, like every other year, we wanted to do something different for our top performers. We decided to replace the traditional crystal trophies and plaques with well…something very different. Something we think that they will cherish, that will bring a smile to their faces and be a treasured memory for the rest of their lives! I think it worked quite well! If you like the idea, the “trophies” are from Duome Doll. And, if you have any good ideas to delight your people, please share with me. This is one thing we definitely need the “wisdom of the crowd”! #GEN #ImpactingGENerations #startwithGEN #workwithGEN #financialplanningcareer #financialplanner
