Let’s talk!

Leila Strickland, PhD
Founder

I am a scientist and entrepreneur who spent 5 years in the trenches, running a VC-backed biotech startup.

We raised and spent $24.5M on the development of a novel biomanufacturing platform that could save the lives of babies, but I lost my company because of the structural vulnerability of the innovation industry to patent litigation.

Now I’m starting a conversation about how the structures and systems that shape the innovation sector are holding back our shared future.

If you are a researcher, a founder, an investor, or a lawyer working on transformational innovation in the life sciences, let’s work together to address systemic causes of startup failure.
