Safi Bahcall, Angel Investor

Safi Bahcall is a private investor, physicist, entrepreneur (biotech), and the author of Loonshots. "I was a physicist, then I started, took public, and ran a biotech co for 14 years (cancer drugs), then I worked with President Obama's council of science advisors, then I wrote a book, and now I work with and invest in private and public biotech and medtech companies." Loonshots shows how the science of phase transitions - a new way of thinking about group behavior - can help companies and nations design teams that innovate faster and better. Using examples that range from WWII to James Bond, Steve Jobs, and the birth of modern science, Loonshots is the first book to connect physics, business, and world history.
