We’re finding a third way for biologists to change the world. It’s very hard to change the world when the only directions available in biology are academia and the pharmaceutical industry.

I promise you… nobody cares about your business except for you. Nobody.

I ended up going to do a matches program at the state for industrial design. And from there, I got hired at IDEO to joint their design team there – and basically, you are starting as an industrial designer to design products – and then kept asking the question, ‘What else can design accomplish? What else can design do?’

You can model experiments on computers now and then execute them, and you don’t actually need a fully stocked lab.

I think I have learnt more about business from fighting than anything else – from any book, from any, like – fighting is an incredible megastore for doing business.

If you’re trying to solve a problem that is fundamentally important to human society, that’s really important to our mission at Indie Bio.

IndieBio’s capital, facilities, and deep mentoring by a network of biotech-specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google, Facebook, and Instagrams of biology.

The goal here is to triple the lifespan of human beings. We can’t have triple the natural resources, so we need to be more efficient.

A lot of people said this was impossible. ‘You can’t build biotech for $50,000. You can’t build anything for $50,000.’ Well, that’s no longer true, and we’re proving it.

Single-use wearables are tough to sustain from a user perspective.

Put your life into it – it’s not that hard.

The development of exponential technologies like new biotech and AI hint at a larger trend – one in which humanity can shift from a world of constraints to one in which we think with a long-term purpose where sustainable food production, housing, and fresh water is available for all.

I thought that biology and macro economies, especially, was fairly related between the systems level, and so I graduated the university with a degree in Genetic Engineering and Economies, and I moved to San Francisco to try out how to make money with just the ideas itself.

The global food supply chain is a multitrillion-dollar industry. That’s the market we’re thinking about disrupting.

We are seeing a new wave of young biologists that are attacking old problems with new tools and fresh ideas, leading to new types of bio startups and creating a much-needed engine to drive Silicon Valley into the next century.

Biology is the most powerful technology ever created. DNA is software, protein are hardware, cells are factories.

We want everyone who comes through to feel more entrepreneurial and start companies, even if they fail.
