A strange piece of advice my grandmother told me... I ignored it at age 26, and regretted it at age 40.

AbCellera CEO Carl Hansen on “redefining” what success looks like in Canada:
“One of the things Canada can boast of is terrific science” … “but we are still the only G7 country without a major biopharma company”.
“It’s not because we haven’t had successes. It’s because every time that a success starts to look like it’s going to work, we sell it.” … “If you keep selling your dollar bills for pennies, you’re going to wake up 20 years later and say ‘hey we’ve got no money left’. And we’ve been doing that again and again”.
“In biotech and in other sectors of tech, the reality is you either start a company that is ambitious enough and big enough to scale and be a global champion, or it’s going to get bought. And when it gets bought, it gets bought by companies that are much bigger. And if you don’t have bigger companies, you lose the companies.”
“If there’s one thing that everyone could just get their mind around: We need to build big companies. By whatever means. If we have big companies, we are an acquirer of technology. If we don’t, we are a cheap branch-plant for large multinationals in other jurisdictions.”
