Bill Freytag and Larry Gold, plus Mr. Patrick Mahaffy (L-R) explained what propelled them to grow successful bioscience companies and become leaders of the industry at the CBSA's July BioBreakfast event. Starting any business requires determination, self-discipline, persistence, a high tolerance for risk and a willingness to work very long hours. Starting a bioscience company with the goal of gaining FDA approval for a new drug or medical device requires incredible perseverance and an awful lot of money.

This week: CBSA's popular BioBreakfast series features three CEO entrepreneurs

Each year the CBSA dedicates one BioBreakfast to spotlighting an article within the annual Bioscience Colorado Magazine. This year's program is one you can't afford to miss. Listen as Dr. Larry Gold, Dr. Bill Freytag and Patrick Mahaffy explain what propelled them to grow successful bioscience companies and become leaders of the industry.

Starting any business requires determination, self-discipline, persistence, a high tolerance for risk and a willingness to work very long hours.

Behind every Colorado bioscience company are men and women who have embraced these challenges and took them on with a zeal that not everyone possesses.
