​How do I turn my breakthrough science into a startup? Am I addressing a problem with a large enough market? How do I recruit a team? Am I the right person to do it?

If you're curious about entrepreneurship, Ale Borda, who runs the 5050 program at Fifty Years, is coming from San Francisco to share insights from helping hundreds of scientists translate breakthrough science into deep tech startups.
