Dominik Schumacher, Tubulis 🇩🇪 | Founder-led ADC Biotech ⭐️ | E19

Flot.bio x Philip Hemme

We’re in Munich 🇩🇪 with a “true” biotech founder, Dominik Schumacher of Tubulis. Not many biotechs in Europe are led by a founder PhD under 40 and have scaled to raising over 100M. I know only two, one is Thomas at Owkin and the other one is Dominik at Tubulis. We talked about building a champion ADC biotech, the super hot ADC sphere, and the difference between luck and success.
