From Lab to Market: A Podcast by AnalyticalChemistryStartups
AnalyticalChemistryStartups exists to support founders who are doing some of the most technically demanding work in science — using analytical chemistry, diagnostics, sensors, and scientific instrumentation to build companies with real-world applications. In this podcast series we interview founders across many of these companies, learning firsthand about their challenges, their breakthroughs, and what it actually takes to get from a lab discovery to a commercial product.
From these conversations, we developed From Lab to Market: a practical business education series designed specifically for scientists and engineers who are building, or thinking about building, a company.
Episode One: Why Great Science Fails the Market
This episode explores the leap from scientist to founder — specifically, why excellent science so rarely becomes a successful company, and what the founders who successfully make that jump actually do differently. Whether you're just starting to explore entrepreneurship or you're already in the thick of it, this episode will give you a framework for thinking about the transition ahead.
