As Vanguard’s Ken Banta points out at the start of this video, entrepreneurial founders in the life sciences often get derailed as they try to lead their organizations into their third or fourth years. Vivek Ramaswamy, founder and CEO of Roivant Sciences, thinks that’s because you have to be a norm-breaker to start a new kind of company, while developing and scaling a company requires sticking to norms. In this discussion, Vivek and Alisa Cohn — recently named the Top Startup Coach in the World at the Thinkers50/Marshall Goldsmith Global Coaches Awards — reflect on the extraordinary things that other people can do for a founder, if he or she will only let them.

Highlights from the 2020 Vanguard Forum for Life Sciences Leaders, Session 3.
