Olfa Thera, Opus Bio win $100K Awards in QB3 mentoring Session

Olfa Thera and Opus Bio — spinoffs from UCSF and UC Berkeley respectively — won $100K awards from the QB3 mentoring program in a competitive pitch session. “A vote of confidence” says Olfa; “This award will help us enormously,” says Opus. The support enables both companies to conduct key proof-of-concept experiments to attract seed investment. The program takes applications quarterly: the next deadline is February 16.
