Sally Hatcher

Sally Hatcher, J.D. is an investor, board member, serial entrepreneur, and startup accelerator faculty member. Her current work in venture capital stems from extensive experience founding and managing her own startups, then training deep tech founders to become the next generation of innovators solving critical problems including climate change, quantum technologies, and drug discovery.

Sally co-founded and was President of two companies, including Precision Photonics, a laser & opto-electronics design and manufacturing company. Starting in the garage, the company shipped high-volume product to China, and grew to a 50+ person, highly profitable venture before a successful acquisition. Her second company, MBio Diagnostics, focuses on point-of-care medical and animal diagnostics, using laser-based waveguide systems to detect up to 80 biomarkers at once. Sally’s worked with several digital women’s health companies, and spent a year as President/COO of a Kindara, where she shipped the first hardware product (a connected device (IoT) to generate revenue off a free app) and gained ISO 13485, CE mark, FDA Class II, FCC and HC/ICC marks.

Sally regularly consults with diverse teams of innovators who want to spinout or start up a company. Her business and law background comes from her time as a consultant with McKinsey & Co. and an Assistant Attorney General for Colorado. She sits on several boards and is active in environmental and women’s issues.
