Simon Mahfoud, Offerwell.
“Sharing space with other founders definitely has benefits. The other founders are sometimes the only people who understand what starting a deep-tech company is like. It’s been valuable to have hallway conversations when we run into a challenge. ”

“From the start, part of our company strategy was to be affiliated with the university. We do both research and manufacturing, areas in which UB has a strong reputation. It’s really important for hiring as we grow, too—nine of our eleven employees are UB grads. ”
