What drew you to Twenty/Twenty?
“I was excited to discover the freedom we have to direct our own work. Startups usually entail high-pressure to show growth and revenue. But Twenty/Twenty fosters innovation, not shortcuts.”
Engineer
“So many people I used to run into were intellectually bored. They found themselves working on things that really could have happened 10 or 20 years ago but had been pushed aside for various status quo reasons. At Twenty/Twenty, we’re applying new thinking and exciting technology that is going to retire those old-school ways.”
Inventor
“Twenty/Twenty appealed to me because I knew that I could work on cutting-edge research AND actually deliver something to the patient to improve their lives.”
Scientist
What keeps you engaged?
“Instead of focusing on ‘What product can we launch this year to gain market share’, we look at ‘What problem can we solve?’ And that keeps me engaged because new challenges arise through the product life-cycle as it approaches market. It may begin with the efficacy of a therapy, then focus on reliability and yield, patient adoption and ease-of-use, then mass production and quality, demonstration and product display. I don’t foresee ever being bored.”
“It’s so enriching to interact with and learn from people across many areas of expertise. At the same time, sharing your own research with others really helps solidify one’s understanding and mastery of the topic. There’s no better way to advance your knowledge.”
