SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Dr. Dushyant Pathak was recently named to the National Small Business Association (NSBA) Leadership Council. NSBA is the nation's oldest small-business advocacy organization, and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis. Pathak, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins the NSBA Leadership Council alongside other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.

"As a small-business owner, I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation," stated Pathak. "Joining NSBA's Leadership Council will enable me to take our collective small-business message to the people that need to hear it most: Congress."

Founder of VentureEdge LLC, Pathak has close to two decades of business experience in Fortune-500, early-stage and start-up biotechnology companies, in senior leadership, business development and operational roles, during which time he actively participated in raising over $100 million in investment capital. Additionally, he worked in venture capital and was the first full-time Associate Vice Chancellor for Innovation & Technology Commercialization at UC Davis.
