Too many techbio companies focus too early on their own assets, making it hard to truly invest in the platform that makes them special. Nabla shows a better way -- start with revenue generating partnerships, then vertically integrate over time.

We are hiring an efficiency research engineer. I'll share a little bit about the role, because our hiring says a lot about what we stand for, and how we want to build technology. So, here we go... 🔥

Had a blast giving the current @fiftyyears cohort a tour of Plasmidsaurus yesterday. Just a few years ago I was in their shoes - now it’s an honor to host future founders at our office. Excited to see the startups you’ll build!

AI is a wondrous tool. The most powerful we've built. We get to choose what to do with it. Addictive apps, marketing automation, slop junk food. Or we can choose to accelerate science, cure disease, spread prosperity. We get the future we choose to build.
