In this episode of the BioHub by Avetix, we’re joined by Dana Watt, Partner at Breakout Ventures, to explore how she evaluates ambitious science-led businesses at the earliest stages.

Dana discusses her journey from neuroscience and company building into venture capital, what separates an exciting technology from an investable company, and the signals she looks for in scientific founders. We also explore how Breakout supports companies beyond capital, the changing investment environment for biotech and deep tech, and where Dana sees the greatest opportunities emerging across biology and technology.

A brilliant conversation for scientists, founders and anyone interested in how transformative ideas make the leap from the lab into the market.
