“I was immediately attracted to Kairos because it is genuinely focused on fostering innovation through basic science. In university labs all around the world amazing research and discoveries are taking place, which have the potential to improve people’s lives and the planet. However, much of the university-based sciences are under-funded and remain dormant in the lab. The word Kairos means “a propitious moment for decision or action.” At Kairos we are called to action, to blend talent, know-how, and investment strategy to propel university ideas from concept to commercial reality.”
