We recently launched a $10,000 challenge to encourage writings of a positive future made with biology.
But some writers are confused about our criteria. So we will clarify details and extend the deadline to October 15.

60% of the physical inputs to the global economy can be produced by biology. This week The White House released an executive order outlining 'Bold Goals for US Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing'. This is a huge accelerant for innovation! 🚀

Highlighting some fun parts of the order:

We just built a product AngelList to help startups impacted by SVB that need emergency capital:

- Standardized Loan Agreement Docs (temporary loan from investors) with online signing & funding.
- Built in banking access (if your company needs it)

In our work on engineered living materials, a question we ask ourselves is ‘How can we use synthetic biology to make materials more sustainable?’ In our new preprint, Marcus Walker Marcus Walker answers this with ‘Bacterial Black Sheep’.
How? Read on… 🧵⬇️

The journey begins!

We believe in a future world that taps into all of microbial biodiversity, not just as a source of genes to plug into tired industrial hosts, but as a new platform for production.

Why focus on proteins and operons when you can engineer new species?

We are thrilled to announce the close of a $3.3M Pre-Seed round, funded by Climate Capital, Freeflow Ventures, Agronomics, Fall Line Capital, and a network of climate-focused angels.

Stay tuned, folks, more microbes to come 🦠🦠🦠
