​Frontier science needs founders.

​Join us at The Quad on Sand Hill Road for an afternoon built for founders and investors. Hear directly from the COMPASS team on how we partner with researchers building breakthrough technologies from the National Labs to launch new startups. You'll also hear from SRI International on the venture due diligence behind each technology and from Roadrunner Venture Studios on recruiting the founders to build them.
