About us
Foresite Labs incubates companies that will address some of our greatest unmet medical needs. Their experienced team of scientists, engineers, and operators believes that the tools of data science, when applied with scientific rigor, will greatly accelerate scientific discovery and the development of new products and services that benefit patients. Through its incubation platform, Foresite Labs is dismantling the barriers faced by visionary entrepreneurs and their companies as they seek to re-invent healthcare. Foresite Labs Values Truth over progression: We follow the science, pursuing ideas that are grounded in data and abandoning them when not supported by the evidence. Take good risks: Our culture values informed risk-taking: good decisions are celebrated even when they result in bad outcomes. Everyone feels safe to contribute ideas and to learn from failure. Single accountable person: The project team lead is accountable for all decisions and for maintaining transparency and information flow within the team; we trust the project teams. The Review Committee unlocks capital and sets directions. Simplicity and Focus: “Companies die from indigestion, not starvation” (Bill Hewlett) We will focus on a few ideas aggressively and minimize all other distractions. Everyone will have a few key goals that have measurable outcomes. Respect and Community: Our employees are our greatest asset; everyone invests in creating an environment of collaboration and respect. We support their careers and career development whether they stay, go to a Labs company, or end up somewhere else.
