Episode 26: Christina Lopes- Building The One Health Company
About Christina Lopes:
My next guest on The One Percent Project is Christina Lopes. Christina is the CEO and co-founder of The One Health Company, leaders in precision medicine leader for dogs with cancer. The One Health Company is a YC incubated start-up backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Tau Ventures. Christina has been also been recognized as Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
In this conversation, she talks about:
- Building a Bio company in Silicon Valley
- Learning from Y Combinator and who should apply?
- Why have the likes of Andreessen Horowitz and Tau Ventures invested in The One Health Company?
- Building a business in a market with established incumbents.
- What does it take to build an effective multidisciplinary team?
Key Take-Aways:
- Build business competitiveness by focusing on a hard problem to solve and solving it with the smartest people available.
- Before you start building something new. First, do it manually and document your observations. Once you have got your head around it bring the tech and other teams to building it.
- How to think and build a business from available technology and data and create a business distribution.
Rapid Fire:
- The hardest thing about your job?
- Dealing with folks, that are really negative on us because we're a new thing and don't understand it really. It's for mission people. It's really hard.
- One book or a blog that has influenced you personally and professionally?
- I love Ben Horowitz's, the hard things about hard things. Chapter Four, and then lots of the a16z blogs and podcasts about creating a market is amazing. More in our field, the bio podcast talking about real-world data versus traditional clinical trials. Goes on and on. But they’re amazing.
- Your most favourite superhero?
- Superwomen.
