Douglas Crawford

General Manager, MBC BioLabs at Managing Director, Mission Bay Capital

Speaker

Doug’s goal is to help entrepreneurial scientists create successful startups. To this end, he founded and manages MBC BioLabs. This state-of-the-art coworking laboratory program in San Francisco allows entrepreneurs to rapidly generate data without getting bogged down in facility management. Rather than spending months getting a facility up and running, MBC BioLabs startups can generate important data in their first week. This winning formula has helped 164 companies raise over $4 billion!

Doug is also the Managing Director of Mission Bay Capital and has overseen the investment in 45 companies, 9 of which have already enjoyed successful exits (Alector, Atreca, Calithera, Cell Design Labs, iPierian, Principia, Redwood Biosciences, True North, and Zephyrus). He is a board member of Avexegen, Epiodyne, Graphwear, Invenio, Magnamosis, Magnap, Mitokinin, SiteOne (observer), and Tangible Sciences.
