OBI has an extensive BioMentor program available to provide pro bono advice and assistance to promising life science entrepreneurs across the state of Oregon. This month we are highlighting OBI BioMentor Dorota Shortell.
As a BioMentor, Ms. Shortell can advise in the areas of engineering and commercialization for companies and entrepreneurs. While Simplexity only works for existing corporations and funded startups, Ms. Shortell can help aspiring companies estimate engineering budgets needed to bring a product to market, while they are still in the fundraising phase.
Dorota will be giving a Lunch & Learn at the OBI on October 25, 2018. Stay tuned for more information.
