Bio-production has an Engineering problem. We’re fixing it by building the automation layer for biologics to scale. Here are a some insights about Anaula from @RoMcLocko at @DiscipulusVent Demo Day in El Segundo.
Atoms Not Bits@AtomsNotBits

GLP-1 drugs are one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets ever. This startup is building the autonomous factory to produce them at scale. Founded by @RoMcLocko and @RodrigoCorEst, part of the @DiscipulusVent Spring Cohort.

From building generational companies to solving mortality. Great to chat with @PalmerLuckey and pick his brain backstage before this interview.

🇺🇸 EXCLUSIVE: @PalmerLuckey x @DiscipulusVent Spring Demo Day Fireside Chat. We cover Why El Segundo, Founding Anduril, Defense Tech Incentives, State of Hardtech VC, SVB Collapse, Erebor, Founder Advice, & more. Highlights: (00:00) Palmer Luckey (00:20) Why Anduril chose El Segundo over the Bay Area (01:20) The Facebook acquisition & Bay Area mercenary problem (02:43) Building across veterans, Democrats, Republicans & libertarians (03:33) How the four Anduril founders' roles have evolved (04:21) "Want to work on tech? Don't start a company" (06:02) What Palmer learned from Oculus about delegation (06:44) How not to become Lockheed or Raytheon (07:33) Why the government rewards being slow & expensive (09:25) Anduril's real failure mode: becoming Google, not Lockheed (10:21) The state of hardtech venture capital (10:55) Why ZIRP killed serious investing (12:31) The vibe shift toward energy, defense & agriculture (13:01) Erebor & the SVB collapse that almost killed Anduril (13:32) Why no American bank is actually aligned with America (15:18) How Biden accidentally saved Anduril (17:10) Palmer's one piece of advice for founders (17:38) Bonus: the One Piece anime fan edit

Great to present Anaula and talk to laureate scientists and experts in microbiology at the School of Biosystems and Food Engineering at @ucddublin

Proud to have made history with the team at @RainmakerCorp. This spring at @DiscipulusVent, I met @jared_western. Spent two hours at a party with him going deep on waste-to-energy. By the end of the week I knew I was leaving SLC. Since high school I've been obsessed with one question: why can't we turn our waste into cheap fuel? This summer I get to answer it — building the physical intelligence layer at Western Chemicals in El Segundo. Western deploys duckweed to wastewater plants and converts the output into fuel cheaper than trad petrochem processes. Looking for housing in the LA area, ideally close to the refinery. DM if you have leads.

Built this in 7 days in El Segundo All-in cost: <$1,000 Working photobioreactor • sensors, controls, light delivery This is how fast iteration in biomanufacturing can move Now imagine 1 month Now imagine 1 year Autonomous, robot-driven bioreactors coming next We’re Raising

Anaula (anaula.bio) — Autonomous bio-factories for GLP-1s Helped build Intel's 2nd largest autonomous chip factory. Their reactor cuts GLP-1 production cost in half. Just signed a $4M agreement to build biological drugs. 📩 ruairi@anaula.bio (@RodrigoCorEst)

El Segundo Demo Day yesterday 3 companies to watch out for: > Anaula: bioreactor for pharma APIs and GLP-1s > @jared_western: bioreactor for waste water > @AJA_Cortes: reshoring nitrogen and creatine manufacturing If the US got into a war with China, we'd be out of insulin, statins, antibiotics, Tylenol, etc. in a month Like what happened with masks during COVID Feels like there's an opportunity for a $20M solo GP fund just focused on reshoring pharma and biomanufacturing @jakobdiepen @discipulusvent cooking
