My first check ever was from @1517fund They were patient with me even though I was a petulant scientist In an era of soulless VCs trying to extract as much value as they can, 1517 creates If you want to write your first check or ask for your first check reach out to them

I started Embryo Corp two years ago. I never imagined we would be at this place today. We have gene edited embryos of many species and have built out the infrastructure to gene edit many more at scale and cheap. I want to live in a world where gene editing animals is commonplace

VC: Why has no one else built this company? Me: Why has no ex-NASA scientist PhD decided to forgo a cushy job to spend their early mornings shoveling horse shit in the rain to genetically design the next generation of animals? Yeah Its probably lack of moat, totally bro.

Biology is the foundation of our planet and way of life. Not SaaS or robotics or AI. Founders need to stop building only shareholder value and start building value in the living systems that run our world. Talk about compounding

Going to be in SF this week for the Substack debate who should I meet to talk to about gene editing unicorns?

1517 re-upped their investment and I blew it on horses. Total accident. Didn't expect them to be that fast? In my defense, 1517 keeps enabling my crazy ideas. Meet Jolene mother of unicorns

Biology as an industry is massively underappreciated for its scale, value and success because when people say biotech they mean pharma and not using technology and genetics for agriculture The pig industry alone is equal to the global smartphone market
Max Unfried@MaxUnfried

Biotech is the industry with the lowest success rate unfortunately, but at the same time trying to solve the problems that are worth solving the most.

These are Cat embryos right before we used CRISPR gene editing to knockout the primary allergen gene Fel D1 on our quest to create a true hypoallergenic cat at Embryo Corp (implants soon)

Weve been using the Colossal "Woollly mouse" as a kind of benchmark for our gene editing techniques Except we are trying to do it the hard way by CRISPR gene editing the embryos while still inside the womb and not killing any mice in the process Getting close

Everyone in tech talks about building unicorns. We’re literally making one The first directly gene edited horse embryos in history. The initial step. Fluorescent jellyfish gene(GFP) inserted into MC1R at zygote stage using multiple techniques
