What's it like to see an idea grow into something bigger than you ever imagined? This week on Sea Change Radio, host Alex Wise sits down with entrepreneur Harrison Dillon, the co-founder of Solazyme, a biotech company that creates environmentally-friendly synthetic designer oils that can be used in a wide array of products that have traditionally been petroleum-based. Dillon walks us through the evolution of an idea, from spitballing concepts in grad school to seeing Solazyme grow into a multi-million dollar, publicly traded company. He also dives into the science behind this start-up, looks at the various technologies in the biofuel space, and discusses the emerging recognition of the role microbes can play in all sorts of new technologies.
