My dream and the dream of my startup is to cure cancer. We are taking immune cells, and engineering them in a lab, so that they can go into [a] patient’s body, find the tumor, and destroy it. The biggest challenge in my startup journey was wearing both the scientist hat and the entrepreneur hat. When I met my banker at J.P. Morgan, I saw that we can get exactly the level of care and personal attention that we need, that we’re not just a small fish in a much bigger pond. J.P. Morgan is the bank of the innovation economy.

Mat Legut, PhD, combined his scientific expertise with entrepreneurial drive to launch OverT Bio. His team engineers immune cells to seek out and destroy tumors, bringing new treatment options to cancer patients.

While navigating the challenges of building a life sciences startup, Legut found that balancing innovation and business demands required more than vision—he needed the right support. Legut found that with the J.P. Morgan Startup Banking team.
