It was a delight hosting such an engaged and enthusiastic 5050 cohort today! Excited to see all the new startups and breakthroughs that will come from this bright crew. P.S. we're hiring :)

Very inspiring for this cohort of 5050 to see a former 5050 whose startup is now off to the races. @nikitakhlystov epically holding up a bag of recycled polyester monomer made via @huminly's enzymatic recycling of old clothes.
Thank you @pronounced_kyle for showing 5050 @Astranis's satellite factory. Pride of San Francisco! And don't worry Kyle, we won't tell anyone you're an MBA. Secrets is safe with us.
"Your American flag needs to be at least this big." @Molten_Ind co-founder @Caleb_C_Boyd dropping knowledge on 🇺🇲 manufacturing of clean graphite and hydrogen for the 5050 cohort.
The buzz of a new 5050 cohort kicking off is unbeatable
@sethbannon @GordianBio Infinity recommendation for @fiftyyears as investors 🫡
Instead of testing 1,000 therapies each in 1,000 mice, what if we could test 1,000 therapies in a single mouse. @GordianBio is making this possible for gene therapies.

Sequencing a 165kbp BAC containing large repeats with @plasmidsaurus. With some reads >80kbp I feel more confident than ever on what I have. What an amazing technology!
Introducing SF Deep Tech Week When people think of SF they think of software startups. But SFBA is also the deep tech capital of the world. Time to show off with events on bio, industrials, defense, energy, climate, space, quantum. Oh, and parties.

Monday June 24th join @fiftyyears for Bio Night, featuring star-studded speaking panel with @bryan_johnson on longevity and a bioinformatics hackathon Planting the seeds to garden desert worlds and conquer human mortality within our lifetimes
I cold emailed a VC fund. They gave me free socks. This is my story (continued in thread).
The first two healthy volunteers have now been dosed. @HelixNano is officially a clinical stage company. 🤯 It's hard to process after a multi-year journey. Overwhelmed by gratitude to our team and the trial participants.

If you've been using one of our Oxford University dropboxes, you may have spotted something unusual...!!!🦖🚲 Daily pickups at @Dunn_School, @OxfordBiology, @HumanGeneticsOx, and Old Road Campus Research. Huge shoutout to Dr Malcolm Sim, @mjwsim!
How can we expand the number of organisms we research? Join @tylerbarnumphd and @seemaychou on May 2nd in SF for a convo on predicting ideal growth conditions and choosing transformable research organisms, co-hosted by @fiftyyears and Arcadia! RSVP: lu.ma/32pzf424
Our new website is live 🎉 Check it out below: aalo.com
I'm starting a project with @elicitorg! Elicit is an AI research assistant—like Google Scholar meets Perplexity.
Some special guests joining the @fiftyyears OKR meeting even though it's past their bedtimes!
Continually amazed at the scale of @worldcoin... Largest app on OP Mainnet by a large margin (ETH fees)
Today @Astranis is introducing a revolutionary new satellite for high orbits. We call it Omega. It is pound-for-pound higher performance than any satellite on orbit today. First flight unit will be completed next year, with launches starting in 2026.
