Scientist to Founder by Fifty Years

​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, join us to hear Alex Teng, Partner at Fifty Years, share insights from helping hundreds of scientists translate breakthrough science into deep tech startups.

We'll dive into how to identify civilization-scale problems to tackle, break down ideas into fundable milestones, develop essential entrepreneurship skills (from hiring to fundraising to negotiating IP), and grow into a great founder.

Fifty Years is an early-stage VC firm. At 50Y, we’ve built deep tech companies ourselves and published the Spinout Playbook, a full guide to spin out of academia. We've backed over 100 deep tech startups and helped them raise over $4.6B.

We've distilled everything we know about deep tech entrepreneurship into 5050, a free program to help great scientists and engineers become great founders.

Whether you're validating an idea or unsure whether entrepreneurship is right for you, see you at Stanford.
