Doug’s goal is to help entrepreneurial scientists create successful startups. His dream is that every entrepreneurial scientist with a dream be given a chance. To this end, he founded and manages MBC BioLabs network, which now has four sites in San Francisco and San Carlos that are home to 211 companies. These co-working labs allow startups to be fast, focused, and frugal. Rather than spending months getting a facility up and running, MBC BioLabs startups can do experiments in their first week.Doug is also a Managing General Partner of Mission BioCapital and has overseen the investment in 76 companies, many of which have already enjoyed successful exits. He is a board member of Alessa, Epiodyne, Invenio, Myka, Magnap, and Tangible Sciences.
