At Vator Splash Health 2015, held last month, Lindy Fishburne, executive director of Breakout Labs, a seed fund backed by the Thiel Foundation, gave a Splash Talk on how to get technology out of the labs and into a commercial setting. Breakout Labs works with scientists who are making significant leaps at the intersection of biology and technology. Its approach is to use philanthropic dollars to seed these companies. 

So far, 22 have been funded and five have closed their Series A, and one has been acquired.

Grab popcorn and enjoy her Splash Talk!
