Continuing its commitment to fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and cross-cultural education, the Sikh Foundation proudly announces the second event of the Quarterly Startup Series titled "My Journey: Sharing the Successes of Entrepreneurs and Innovators” featuring Dr. Daniel Adams, PhD, Chief Scientist for Neuralink Corp, interviewed by Raj Kapany.  

Daniel is a visual neuroscientist specializing in binocular vision in humans and non-human primates. He uses psychophysical, behavioral, electrophysiological, and anatomical techniques to study the primate visual system at a number of levels from the retina to the cortex. He is currently researching implantation surgeries used in neurophysiological experiments.

The 45-minute conversation will cover a range of topics, from the emotional rollercoaster of starting a business to practical strategies in team building, funding, recruitment, management, operational challenges, and maintaining work-life balance.

The upcoming session takes place in person in Baskin Engineering and hosted by Raj Kapany, a Trustee of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation and the Sikh Foundation. This session is set to offer a riveting dialogue, illuminating the paths of entrepreneurs who have navigated and surmounted substantial challenges. 

The "My Journey: Sharing the Successes of Entrepreneurs" series is a testament to the Foundation's dedication to bridging knowledge gaps and nurturing future leaders. This initiative offers a platform for exploring the multifaceted world of entrepreneurship. This innovative program is rooted in the foundation's rich legacy established by Dr. Narinder Kapany in 1967, in partnership with the University of California Santa Cruz's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development (CIED) and Baskin School of Engineering—where Dr. Kapany made significant contributions and aims to empower a diverse audience—from students to professionals—across California to around the world.
