The price of culture medium in cultivated meat is NOT a reliable indicator of production costs or unit economics. A company with a $10/L growth medium could still have a cheaper end product than one using a $1/L medium. Why? Because price per liter doesn’t tell the full story. Here’s what actually matters: 1️⃣ 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺…

A VC investor recently approached me with a clear and focused request: “We don’t want a full Tech DD, but we’d like your high-level assessment of the technology, specifically its USP and defensibility.” The challenge?

Deep Tech Investors and Startups this is huge news! The yesterday launched Evo 2 AI model (by Arc Institute and NVIDIA) is set to transform synthetic biology by making genetic design faster, cheaper, and more precise. They say that in only a few seconds Evo 2 can predict how DNA mutations impact organisms and even…

The problem? Their technology was nothing but an empty promise. And yet, it sounded completely feasible: why shouldn’t it be possible to run an extensive health screening with just a few drops of blood? No need to double-check with a scientist, right? We all know how that ended. While a lot of things are possible…
