Jessica Owens of Initiate Ventures joins Scott McGrew to talk biotech, bold bets, and what happens when venture capital meets whiteboard-stage science. From her early days in a CDC biohazard lab to co-founding an $8 billion cancer detection company, Owens shares inside stories from the front lines of public health and startup investing. It’s a candid, fascinating conversation about the science that doesn’t make headlines, what founders really need to “own,” and why the next big breakthroughs require engineers and biologists to speak the same language.
