Managing Director, Activate Houston

Activate empowers scientists to reinvent our world and address climate change by bringing their research to market. The Activate Fellowship provides the funding, technical support, networking, community, and time that these scientists need at the outset of their entrepreneurial journey. Our team brings a diversity of experience and a deep track record to helping our fellows bridge the science-to-market gap. We support up to 40 new Activate Fellows each year through communities in Berkeley, Boston, New York, and across the U.S. through Activate Anywhere. By 2025, we plan to support 100 new fellows each year. Activate was founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs, scientists, and investors, and our entrepreneurial fellowship model originated at Cyclotron Road, a division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and an Activate partner.
