Thesis

Synthetic biology and life sciences are engineering disciplines. The world's greatest challenges in human and planetary health will be solved by scientists and engineers using biology as a tool. We fund the earliest-stage founders with breakthrough ideas and provide wet lab infrastructure, capital, and long-term partnership.

We don't fund purely software solutions, non-technical founders, or companies optimizing existing biotech models. We avoid me-too applications and fund only mission-driven founders solving hard problems.
