William (Bill) J. Garner.[1] is a physician, investor and entrepreneur.
Born in 1966 in Kansas City, Missouri. His father brought knee arthroscopy to the mid-west through his collaboration with Prof. Hiroshi Ikeuchi in Tokyo.
Dr. Garner[2] founded EGB Ventures[3] in May 2017 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after operating EGB Advisors, LLC from 2000 to 2017.
Through EGB Ventures, Dr. Garner has founded & financed numerous companies that have been publicly traded on the ASX, CSE, TSX and NASDAQ. These companies include, for example, TRYP Therapeutics[4], Island Pharmaceuticals[5], and Race Oncology[6]. EGB Ventures focuses on advancing technologies and companies to significant value inflection points, leading to monetization of assets via licensing, mergers and acquisitions or IPO transactions.
As part of EGB Ventures’ operations, the company looks for assets with unrealized potential. This can include physical assets, ideas and people, especially experienced life science executives and high-potential, mid-tier professionals. Following the acquisition of an asset and formation of a new venture, EGB Ventures will endeavor to raise a round of seed capital ($1M - $5M), adequate to position the company for a public financing, referred to as a “public venture capital” transactions. Following the completion of an initial public financing, EGB Ventures begins a process to work with the company to build out its senior management team to ensure success as a stand-alone public company.
Dr Garner is a Board Member of GeneTether[7], a proprietary platform to increase the correction efficiency of targeted genome editing technologies.
Previously, in 1999, Garner worked in medical affairs at Hoffmann LaRoche[8] in oncology. Prior to Roche, Dr. Garner was a merchant banker in New York City.

He is currently a licensed physician in the State of New York.

Garner did a project funded by the Kaufman Foundation investigating technology transfer impacts on local economies and universities.
He was a student in the Molecular Hepatology Laboratory, founded by Prof Jack R Wands, MD at Mass General Cancer Center. He also worked in the laboratory of Prof. Hubert E Blum in Zurich.
In 1997 he moved from academic medicine to a merchant bank in New York City, embarking on his entrepreneurial career.

Garner shares his hard-won lessons on how researchers, inventors, entrepreneurs and investors can navigate the often perilous road to success in the life sciences arena. Dr. Garner’s focus is on the vagaries of the biotech and life sciences industries, but his sage observations, advice-and horror stories-will resonate with any enterprising individual who wants to sidestep the most perilous icebergs and successfully reach his/her intended destination and “do well while doing good.”
