“Thank you for inviting me and us to last night’s one-year anniversary celebration (and the gracious recognition!) It’s amazing how you have started up the Biocom office and have grown it into such a presence in this metropolis! I’m very hopeful the City of LA will stay very connected and at the table in your great work with the various firms. Our region is sitting on a gold mine of startups, large and small companies, existing and potential employers, and vast intelligence and academic structure of this sector. Your facilitative efforts to keep it alive and robust is just tremendous! Congratulations!”
