Biotechnology Startup Professionals to Know 2025

I built a website where you can hire vetted college students that go to great schools for ad-hoc contract work. The students on our website are best at business development, software development, and engineering. We've worked with nearly 100 different companies and have 5,000 students on our site (mostly in Atlanta and Boston). The vision is to build a site like Upwork/Fiverr but only for smart and hungry college students. We're totally bootstrapped and have only used the cash flows of the business to build it up ($300k AR in 2024). Outside of the company I'm a big proponent of Georgia Tech which had a big part of making me who I am. I love to travel (45 countries) and scale mountains. For the past year and a half I've been living the true digital nomad life - I have lived in 3 different cities (Boston, Chicago, NY) and backpacked all around the globe.
