In this episode, host Doreen Deigh speaks with Salma Dodin, Director of Operations and Fractional CFO at U: The Mind Company, about what it takes to grow a neuroscience startup from an idea into a global force for brain health innovation.

With a background in medical physics and computer science, Salma bridges technical insight and financial precision — leading everything from KPI frameworks to investor relations, all while running the company’s $5M fundraising campaign. Together, Doreen and Salma unpack how she balances science, storytelling, and strategy to make neurotechnology both accessible and investable.
