Joining Jon are Dr. Garrett Smith and Dr. Nicholas (Nick) Mourlas of ReefHaven Ventures\, bringing deep experience across venture capital\, entrepreneurship\, corporate innovation\, and healthcare investing. \nJon Bassett is a Managing Partner at NextGen Venture Partners\, an early-stage venture capital fund focused on backing exceptional founders at the very beginning of their journeys. He is also a Partner and Head of Private Investment Research at Brown Advisory\, a $180 billion registered investment advisor\, where he helps shape private market investment strategy. \nAlong the way\, Jon has learned that careers are rarely linear — he landed his first job in venture capital via a circuitous route that started with looking for a grant writer on Craiglist. Today\, he also advises the U.S. Tennis Association’s Ventures Committee and serves on the investment committee of a European pre-seed venture fund. Jon is passionate about helping students see that curiosity\, hustle\, and relationships often matter just as much as credentials. Jon lives in North County San Diego with his wife\, four young children\, and their dog\, and can usually be found playing pickleball or coaching his kids’ sports teams. \nDr. Garrett Smith brings more than two decades of experience as serial healthcare entrepreneur\, academic and corporate innovator\, and venture capitalist.

He held an Investment Director role at MedeonBio where he was responsible for seed through Series B medtech investments\, and since has invested in multiple start-ups as an angel investor. As a serial entrepreneur\, he has co-founded two start-ups that have been acquired by AbbVie and Viatris for over $600M. He holds a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from UC San Diego\, and completed a BioDesign Fellowship at Stanford. \nNicholas (Nick) Mourlas\, Ph.D.\, is an Investment Partner at ReefHaven Ventures\, where he invests in early-stage medical technology and life science companies operating at the intersection of advanced engineering\, biology\, robotics\, and artificial intelligence. He brings more than 25 years of experience as a repeat founder\, corporate innovation leader\, and investor. Dr. Mourlas previously served as Head of Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS San Diego and has held senior innovation leadership roles at Johnson & Johnson and PARC (a Xerox company). He has founded and led multiple medical device companies acquired by Johnson & Johnson\, Medtronic\, and Integra LifeSciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and was the John B. Simpson Biomedical Innovation Technology Fellow during the inaugural year of the Stanford Biodesign Fellowship Program. \nWhether you’re a student with a burgeoning business concept or a seasoned professional seeking fresh insights\, our series is your platform for education\, connection\, and bringing innovative ideas to life. Immerse yourself in this transformative community and unlock your entrepreneurial potential. \n———————— \n\n\n\n\nDirections to the Design & Innovation Building \nThe event is located on the second floor (room 208) of the Design and Innovation Building (DIB).
