From Founder to Leader aims to demystify what it actually looks like to build hard tech startups. Too often, founders share their stories when there are news-worthy successes - the big raises and the lucrative exits. We want you to hear the real human stories that drive innovation - the crossroads decisions, the messy middles, and practical know-how. We hope that these conversations will help you as you take your ideas out of the lab and build scalable solutions to improve human health and our planet.
