Success will come from using good science, good engineering, good business. Don't do anything less.

Engage brain before the mouth.

Never, Never, Never give up.

Young biotech companies follow an unpredictable course, but it is never a dull ride.

To be a successful entrepreneur you have to have a strong belief about a market opportunity and a willingness to accept personal, professional or financial risk to pursue that opportunity.

Have passion with your goals and have fun reaching them along the way.

Good companies are only good, so be bold and build a great company!

Biotech entrepreneurs may be more successful by focusing on the following 4 themes: (1) Gain technical competence, (2) Explore the interface between disciplines, (3) Acquire managerial/leadership skills, and (4) Develop and maintain external networks.

There is nothing more exciting than pursing the commercialization of a technology you really believe in--virtually everyone of the successful technology based businesses here in San Diego was the result of an entrepreneur that would not be denied--leading a team, finding the money, facing the challenges, that is the opportunity that many of you will be given and I hope you answer the call.
