    Elizabeth Iorns, Dr. Elizabeth Irons

    Dr. Elizabeth Irons founded Science Exchange, a Y Combinator-backed global marketplace connecting researchers with over 800 pre-vetted labs to streamline academic experiment collaboration. Drawing from her personal experience as a former breast cancer researcher, Irons validated the platform's market fit by manually vetting thousands of institutions and adopting a "FORCE" cultural framework to guide operations and investor relations. The company successfully navigated early brand skepticism by pivoting its narrative to emphasize scientific credibility, ultimately establishing a scalable infrastructure that addresses the fragmentation of technical expertise in modern research.
