The $100M Mistake: Why Scientists Can't Translate Ideas to Market
From CFO/CEO roles to running Boston Market Strategies (reviewing 450+ products), to re-engineering clinical trials at places like Penn and Drexel, Curtis has spent 38+ years bridging academia, industry, and investors. In 2009 he launched Eureka Connect, a behavioural science powerhouse that uses validated assessments to reveal exactly why you do what you do — your hardwired drives, ego, discipline, social skills, and more.
The core value right now? Leadership is the bottleneck in biotech translation. Curtis shows how understanding behavioural mechanisms of action lets you build teams that don’t just survive but actually deliver cures, close funding rounds, and scale without the usual ego explosions.
