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.

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!

The timing is suspicious, so worth asking: who benefits and why now?

Why now? The midterms seem relevant. But also perhaps the upcoming IPOs.
