Zitat des Tages von Arvind Gupta:
A big part of the accelerator is to help scientists become entrepreneurs. I like to think about each business being built on three major areas: creating the value, creating the product, and extracting the value. We provide help in each of these areas.
We don't want to end up in a class war. We want everyone to have food, clean water, and a long life expectancy.
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 global food supply chain is a multitrillion-dollar industry. That's the market we're thinking about disrupting.
Hype tends to precede the reality in biotech, but the reality does follow. Usually.
It's possible to fund companies for $100,000 and find out rather quickly whether or not the idea they are pursuing has merit. Scientists now work much faster.
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.
We want everyone who comes through to feel more entrepreneurial and start companies, even if they fail.
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.
