About Mary Phillips, Ph.D.

Trained as a physical chemist and a USPTO registered patent agent, Mary Phillips, Ph.D., has a passion for helping early-stage entrepreneurs solve the complex puzzle of transforming their STEMM-based ideas and discoveries into purpose-driven business realities supporting human health and well-being and the planet we all inhabit. In her current role as the Federal Funding Assistance Manager, she supports early-stage companies identifying, applying for, and wins SBIR-STTR non-dilutive funding for their companies; a role that leverages the experience she has gained working as either a bench scientist, tech transfer professional, founder (Qualtura Biotechnology), chief strategic officer (Thaena Inc), coach (STEMMbridge LLC), mentor (Oregon Bioscience Incubator, OSU Advantage Accelerator), and an investment selection committee member (Nutrition Capital Investment Network). Successfully navigating the twists and turns and managing the many and varied aspects of starting a company, Mary brings her decades of knowledge and expertise in intellectual property strategy, market landscapes, negotiation, team building, leadership, business model generation, company formation, and fundraising. Mary has a deep appreciation of the many challenges experienced by early-stage entrepreneurs, especially women and minority STEMM entrepreneurs, and is committed to helping them confidently find their feet and create the companies they were born to lead. Always curious to learn more, Mary has completed numerous business development courses, including the OSU Leadership Collaborative, the Disney Business Institute's Approach to Selection, Training, and Engagement, OBA's Marketing Foundations, the NSF I-Corp program, and the Bend X Women's Inclusive Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. In her spare time, Mary runs the trails in the forests with her dog, training for her next ultramarathon, and supports the 500 Women Scientists in their mission to "serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible and transform society by fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive societal norms."

In tandem, I worked with the founders to develop a sustainable business model, provide competitive market analysis and overview of the IP landscape in the dietary supplement space.
  • Portal Theatre
    Co-Founder And Development Director
    Portal Theatre Sep 2014 - Dec 2021
    Corvallis, Oregon
    Portal Theatre began as an experiment in creative entrepreneurship asking the question "is there a way for young artists and recently graduated theatre students to be independent and create their own art, their own theatre, and perform to their unique strengths rather than pretzeling themselves into a defined role?". And the experiment worked. Our first play in 2014, NoBelles - stories of women in science - was devised by three recently graduated student who were shocked to discover that only 18 women have been awarded a Noble Prize in Chemistry, Physics or Medicine. NoBelles performed in Edinburgh, UK, across Canada and continues to tour in the US at various universities and scientific conferences. Follow on productions include 73 Seconds telling the story of the astronauts who died in the Challenger explosion; and Things I (never) learned in Sex Ed - a satirical account of the messy, emotional things we wish we had be taught before the big event. We are currently working on the next production for 2021 once again telling new stories of Women in Science.For all productions, the actors are active participants in defining the vision and clear purpose of the play. The plays they devise are as much about them as it is about the people they portray on stage and a way to define and hone their art. All actors are actively involved in the business side with bookings, contract negotiations, marketing, budgets and copyright because while it is fun to create your own art, going broke is not an option..
