Sacha Schermerhorn
CEO Founder at Babylon Biosciences
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSacha Schermerhorn is a founder and CEO based in San Francisco who blends deep neuroscience research with product-led entrepreneurship across nine years of experience. He launched Babylon Biosciences after a string of successful side projects—one early product reached $160k MRR in its first month with 17.5k paying customers and 94% margins—demonstrating an uncommon ability to convert technical prototypes into scalable revenue. His academic pedigree includes co-authoring papers (one in Nature Neuroscience), NSF-GRFP and NIH fellowships, and research roles at NYU, UCL, Brown, and Michigan, giving him a rare fluency in both wet-lab science and computational modeling. He’s shipped consumer and developer-facing products, consulted for high-growth startups (including an App Store #1 widget and a YC company), and isn’t afraid to iterate quickly when product-market fit isn’t there. Privately minded about code (“A man is only as private as his repos”), he nevertheless leverages open engineering and data-driven growth to inform biotech strategy.
