“Khatijia is one of the most ambitious and intelligent founders I have ever met. She is also one of the kindest. She has gone out of her way countless times to provide me with invaluable advice and insights for both fundraising and business development. Starting a company is a long road and it is the people you meet along the way that make it all worth it. Khatijia is on her way to change the world and I am excited to watch her journey.”
About
As the CEO & Founder of BioSapien, I am relentlessly aiming to transform patient care through the revolutionary MediChip. I am deeply passionate about treating cancer locally.
Throughout my life, I’ve worn many hats including several years of experience in venture capital and private equity. I have 4+ years of experience in diligence, capital raising and portfolio management. My adeptness in scientific diligence spans biotech from discovery to commercialization assets - I’m basically a nerd underneath it all :).
I truly believe in the power of the people and my magic is in networking. I can easily connect with individuals from all walks of life. Beyond my professional endeavors, I have served as a board member for non-profits, contributing to impactful global projects such as Habitat for Humanity YP NYC. Recognized with accolades like the Startup Prize, Tim Draper's Competition and Top 25 CEOs in Biotech, I invite you to collaborate in biotech, healthcare innovation, venture capital, and philanthropy.
In my free time (although limited), I love all things nature (rock climbing, surfing, skydiving, snowboarding) and racing cars!
