Tanisha London is the Program Manager of Accelerator Programs at mHUB, where she supports cohorts of high growth hardtech startups working to develop and commercialize solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges in energy, sustainable manufacturing, and health. She serves as the primary point of contact for the cohorts, engaging daily with a diverse group of stakeholders to ensure each team has the resources, relationships, and environment needed to scale. Drawing on her background across accelerator operations, venture capital, and federal research institutions she brings a cross-sector perspective to the work of connecting founders with the tools and networks that move hardtech from prototype to market.
Prior to joining mHUB, Tanisha managed operations for Techstars Los Angeles, evaluated early-stage life science companies at Lux Capital, designed scientific programming at NIH's Center for Compulsive Behaviors, and supported grant management at the nonprofit, HBCUvc. Across each of these roles, her work has centered on building the operational and relational infrastructure that makes complex, multi-stakeholder programs function. She is drawn to where scientific research, startup ecosystems, and community development overlap and has spent her career building in exactly those spaces.
Tanisha holds a B.A. in Psychology from Spelman College and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California, where her research was supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Her scientific training informs how she thinks about technical founders and early-stage innovation, as someone who has sat on both sides of the research-to-commercialization divide.
Outside of work, Tanisha is an avid traveler, food explorer, and always on the hunt for the best group fitness class in whatever city she's in.
