Marcus Lippold, an economist by training, was born in Bremen, Germany (where he remains). “Actually, I started out as singer and songwriter in a band and wrote over 100 hundred German-language songs,” he says. Marcus also worked for eight years as a researcher at the University of Bremen, focusing on intellectual property rights and organization in the biotech and pharma industry. “In 2003, I founded [iito] Business Intelligence for the life sciences market,” says Marcus, “And in 2010, [iito] launched the business web portal Mass-Spec-Capital.com, dedicated to the worldwide mass spec industry, with two further life sciences web portals following suit”.
