Having gone through @EFrontierLabs as a founder several years ago, and now returning as a mentor, I’ve seen both sides of what makes this program work. That balance is hard to get right, and it shows the caliber of companies coming out of the program. (1/4)

Big news!
Here we go! I have some personal business news here and it is thrilling. After lengthy transatlantic talks, The Financial Times has acquired a majority interest in Endpoints News. This is transformational for us. We’re incredibly proud to be a new part of this media enterprise

Great article about one of NYC's biotech entrepreneurs. I first learned about @RocketPharma when we were neighbors at the Alexandria Center for Life Sciences and they hosted their inaugural rare disease day. It was an inspirational day. #nycbiotech tinyurl.com/3drzsmpw
