Why scientists make great entrepreneurs
June 3, 2025
Scientists make great entrepreneurs, because unlike people like me, they aren’t full of sh**.
They are actually doing things and building things, and pushing boundaries and envelopes. This makes their pitches more grounded and their ideas more credible: exactly what VCs want.
However, we make a mistake in thinking that gifted communicators aren’t valuable because they aren’t scientists.
The world needs both: Introverts that build brilliance, and loud, confident communcators who can sell their ideas.
