Most of the startup founders who make the news are the crazy young people dropping out of college. But that's not what happens in real life, especially in biotechnology. The average age of successful startup founders is 35 to 45 years, which rises to 47 years in biotechnology.

As soon as I started this journey, I knew it would be an unusual route for someone my age. But did it have a positive or negative effect on our trip?

In this video I want to share my experience as a 25-year-old founder of a biotech startup. Mind you, I'm sharing my thoughts based on the experience I've had so far, as this is JUST the beginning. This is just my very humble opinion, and that may change as we grow the company.

I'd love to hear your opinion!
