Steve Liebich

​At the age of 20, Steve envisioned a biotechnological institute, which we know today as Babu™, and has since served as its main motor force and intellectual protector. His vision is strong, indomitable, and revolutionary as his entire life.

Steve was born in Bydgoszcz (Poland). He is analytic in nature and highly regards factual evidence above all else and as such is passionate about the scientific field. Despite this, he is well rounded with other focuses such as literature and philosophy and never lets one focus dominate the other.

Patrick Hurley

Patrick Hurley is a financial analyst and friend of founder Steve Liebich. He graduated from Clarkson University as a Bachelor of Science in the field financial information and analysis in 2018, but has been working on start-ups since then. On top of his expertise in the financial field, Patrick has a considerable focus on communications and before working with Steve, ran two different newspapers. It was during one of these jobs that Patrick met Steve and they have been working together since. Now Patrick serves as a financial advisor to the revolutionary idea of the Institute in hopes of creating a brighter, healthier future.
