Entrepreneur, oh really?
I´m a millennial who grew up between the US, Denmark, and Spain, and ended up studying chemical engineering in Copenhagen. I did my master’s in biotechnology and then gained my Ph.D. in Materials Science in Barcelona based on a project funded by the Spanish Research Council. I defended my thesis about a year and a half ago based on research on the interface between biology and materials science, using surface modification to control cell behavior.
I´ve always been curious, but I never thought about or planned to become an entrepreneur. Though I´ve heard plenty about it since my parents rarely had “real jobs”, rather, traditional employment like most other parents, but instead always talked about projects, cash flow (or lack of it), and start-up opportunities.
