170: Overcome the Tax on Being Different with Dr. Vivienne Ming, Socos Labs Co-Founder

Written By Rhodes Perry

Dr. Vivienne Ming is a theoretical neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and author. She co-founded Socos Labs, her fifth company, a “mad science incubator.” The think tank is far from “mad” however, as she and her wife provide guidance to clients on how to use AI and neuroscience to enhance hiring practices, the treatment of employees, and better ways to support students. In her free time, Vivienne has invented AI systems to help treat her diabetic son, predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers weeks in advance, and reunited orphan refugees with extended family members. She sits on the boards of numerous companies and nonprofits, including an Out Entrepreneur favorite, StartOut.
