As companies compete for talent, a candidate’s attitude can matter more than their credentials.
But Krisiloff argues that joining a start-up isn’t as risky as it might seem. “Companies are getting started on a weekly basis,” he says. BDO, a global financial-services company, reports that 78 US biotech companies offered IPOs in 2020, an all-time high and a 77% increase from the previous year . “If the company you’re at doesn’t work out, you can move easily because of the shortage of good scientists,” he adds.
Mammoth Biosciences, a biotechnology company in Brisbane, California, posted to the thread that it had “many open positions”. The company was founded in 2017 by two recent PhD graduates from Stanford University and two PhD students at the University of California, Berkeley. They were joined by biochemist and gene-editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna, who now chairs its scientific advisory board.
Krisiloff says that scientists who apply to start-ups often have a deep supply of curiosity and a tolerance for uncertainty. For various reasons, they also tend to be eager to leave the conventional academic career path. Not only can they find more job openings in industry, but they can also have more time to focus on their work. “It can be a much more effective way of actually doing research,” Krisiloff says.
