Chip F. Parker is a President & CEO at LabX Ventures® based in San Diego, California, United States, North America. Specializes in developing lead platform paradigm-shift opportunities, as well as new category design and implementation. My greatest interest is to lead strategies and work on new ideas and platforms that do not yet exist in the market but will soon take their place as emerging technologies and present new investment opportunities. I am honored to be the leader and chief architect of the category and discipline of venture capital called, “Venture Science”. Venture Science is a breakthrough multi-disciplinary field that uses validated scientific methodologies to make objective, and unbiased analysis of business practices and outcomes. I believe that Venture Science technology is the next generation paradigm shift of an industry long awaiting its own evolution. With years of C-Suite experience in start-up and emerging growth companies, in both technology and biotech, within the angel and venture capital industry, I understand first-hand both the investors perspective, and entrepreneurs pain points of starting, funding, and building an enterprise class company to full realization. I gained invaluable experience as a founder/operator, early stage investor, and syndicator. Disciplines include business development, operations, sales, marketing, management and publishing, in addition to capital formation and board building. My history and why Starting and funding one of Southern California’s first Internet service providers (ISP) in 1993, I was frustrated with the absence of any meaningful local start-up venture community ecosystem. As a response, in 1996 I formed the Tech Coast name and brand with the objective of attracting capital and talent, creating visibility, and forming a united tech community initiative that spanned from Santa Barbara to San Diego. The Tech Coast, and the Tech Coast Initiative was born, elevating the region from "not ranked" 1 to 50 in the US to ranked #3, for total venture capital dollars deployed by region in just 4 years. See Tech Coast below. I am grateful to the thousands that made the Tech Coast such a success, and so well recognized. Together we’ll continue to build our venture community ecosystem and the technologies that enable them. Sincerely Chip F. Parker PS. Join us in the paradigm shift of Venture Science.
