The Yale Table | West Coast · Two Exits, One Table

​The Yale Table is hosting Vivian Qu and Alexey Kadet for an evening at the intersection of materials science, biology, and AI.

​Vivian is a serial founder who built ViaeX, a biomaterials company turning biowaste into high-performance chitosan-based materials, got it acquired by Tidal Vision, and is now mid-build on her second company in stealth. It's backed by the same investors who funded her first exit, and built on technology handpicked by MIT Technology Review. She's also a Venture Fellow at SOSV, one of the most active deep tech accelerators in the world.

​Alexey spent years at Gero, a ML-based longevity and drug target discovery company, where he helped close nine-figure cash deals with leading pharma — some of the largest transactions of their kind in the space. He's now at Crowdlands, building the partnerships layer for a neuroscience AI platform backed by the Head of Science at Open AI and Head of Life Sciences at Anthropic.

​Between them: two exits worth of pattern recognition, a front-row view of how capital actually moves in bio and AI, and enough war stories to make the evening genuinely interesting.

​The Yale Table brings together a small, curated group of students and operators for a private dinner and real conversation — no panels, no pitches.

​10 seats available.
