Hops & Ops: Biotech Operators Happy Hour - Sept. 2026

​Hops & Ops is an invite-only happy hour for the operators behind today's most ambitious biotech and deep-tech startups: the Chiefs of Staff, Strategy & Ops leaders, COOs, venture platform builders, and generalists who take companies from 0 to 1.

​Whether you're designing programs, scaling teams, or standing up new processes, this is a room full of people who get it. Come reconnect with familiar faces and make new friends with your badass peers over food and drinks.

​Attendance is by invitation and capacity is limited.

​The guest list: Current and former startup Chiefs of Staff, Strategy & Ops, and COOs, along with the platform and operations leads at the VC funds backing them, across biotech and deep-tech.

​Hosts:
Rachel Hatano, Director of Scientific Operations at MBC BioLabs. Helping founders build community, reach capital, and access scientific resources in an ecosystem designed for their growth.

​Jordan Ramsay, COO at LatchBio. Building ruthlessly efficient operations to power agent infrastructure for biology, drawing on a career spanning government, campaigns, and high-growth companies.
