I've met so many entrepreneurial rare disease parents over the years that I’ve lost count. They have moved or are moving medical mountains to save their kids and others like them. But rare parent founders get no love from institutional players. Those days are done. Science, talent and compute are no longer limiting. Priority Review Voucher alpha makes the economics work. The missing spark is access to cure capital. That's why I’m incredibly pumped to relaunch @1000cures with my cofounder @ryan_1000cures! Ryan and I teamed up to create a “YC for Rare” that unites our biotech houses with complementary expertises, experiences and networks. 1000 Cures is an accelerator for lean startups led by parents on mission to cure pediatric rare diseases. We ride at dawn. Let’s go!

Why does every academic sound like Reviewer 3?
Why does every AI Bio company sounds exactly like Theranos? "a CRO but really fast" (with no tech innovation, no experience in biology) sounds a lot like "a blood test but from a really small amount"

Can we get a rare disease mom to honeypot a Big Pharma CEO so we can cure all rare genetic diseases already?

This is what horse and buggy drivers said circa 1910
Unfortunately, there is an enormous gap in biological data. While the impact of AI will be incredible, it will sadly be a very long time before disease is a “relic of the past.”

Why are old stories that were not even covered up all that well become sudden international and geopolitical news? The timing is suspicious, so worth asking: who benefits and why now? If Jensen, the premier champion of open models, is taken out then anyone who wants AI closed, centralized, and controlled might benefit. Why now? The midterms seem relevant. But also perhaps the upcoming IPOs.

Unironically, it is so good that biology is cool now. Everyone should be rooting for AI to cure all disease. Stop speculating about whether it will or will not happen and ask yourself what you personally can do to make it happen. Then do it

He’s got a point..
No. Bill Clinton did not resign. Jensen Huang shouldn’t either. And the Nvidia board shouldn’t fire him. Particularly in the heat of the moment. Ride it out and ignore the journos. Clinton did. And then no one cared.

Biotech CEOs are usually so poor that they can only have regulatory Affairs.

TradBio and TradAcad are slinging cope left and right over here, but this is the correct take 🎯👇
This clip has lit up BioX and I dont agree with the hate. The AI labs have the capital, let them try, they either succeed and its great for humanity or they don't and we learn far more from the billions invested in some of these diseases that we currently barely understand.
