"When you're first starting out, you look at companies that have raised tens of millions and think they've made it. It's not the case, it's just a new set of problems to deal with - and that's a good thing - so it's important not to be in the mindset of heading for a particular destination. Rather, you should be focusing on doing what you're doing to the best of your ability and trusting that opportunities will then arise."
Markus Gershater is a co-founder and the Chief Scientific Officer at Synthace, a computer-aided biology company that helps scientific organisations to make the most of laboratory automation.
Both he and the company have had a fascinating journey, and as we discussed it, Markus shared his insights on:

💻 The advantages of human scientists over AI (and vice versa)
💻 Why he hates the term "networking"
💻 The importance of being opportunistic in your career
Enjoy!
