Naresh Sunkara
My street credentials: I’ve been a graduate student, a PhD in Organic chemistry from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, a postdoc from the University of California, Berkeley, and transitioned into a fulltime entrepreneur for over a year now.
I have also founded the Berkeley Postdoc Entrepreneurship Program, to help PhD’s and postdocs learn about entrepreneurship (BPEP). I also have a good understanding of graduate student/postdoc issues, by serving in the Graduate Education Advisory Board of the American Chemical Society.
My goal: To inspire PhDs and postdoc to take up entrepreneurship!
