A much needed group for those in the Biotech related industry...There's just too many great minds out there with phenomenal ideas - this group will serve as a catalyst to getting those ideas off the lab bench and into successful companies.

StartupGuideSA - the BIGGER picture

I recently came across a really useful site: London Startup Guide and as the tag line says, it offers aspiring entrepreneurs 'everything you need to know about the London Startup Scene but were afraid to ask'.

This is a really useful platform that lowers the barrier to entry and…

Leverage Points - Places to intervene in a system

Creating value and challenging the way things are currently done is something I (along with my great teams) continually try to achieve, with the intention of producing a better solution as an end result. I have also consciously noted HOW I have been going about this, and WHY I have been doing it in such a way: To make my efforts as effective as possible.

Hi Justin,

 

Thanks for connecting - Yeah, Grahamstown. It's been more than 20 years and two other universities later, but I still consider Rhodes to be MY alma mater.

 

I tried to write on the TEDx page, but couldn't find a comment link. Please enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?

 

Warm regards
