    How Surbhi Sarna Built A $275M Biotech Company From Nothing

    Surbhi Sarna, Ryan Briggs

    Serby Serna founded Envision Medical to develop the first FDA-cleared device for early ovarian cancer detection, overcoming significant investor bias by securing seed funding before raising $20 million to advance the technology. The company achieved a $275 million acquisition by Boston Scientific after demonstrating clinical viability, marking a successful exit for Serna who previously faced rejections based on her lack of advanced degrees. Now a Group Partner at Y Combinator, Serna leverages her experience to advocate for biotech founders based on problem-solution fit rather than traditional academic credentials.
