The development of exponential technologies like new biotech and AI hint at a larger trend - one in which humanity can shift from a world of constraints to one in which we think with a long-term purpose where sustainable food production, housing, and fresh water is available for all.

The goal here is to triple the lifespan of human beings. We can't have triple the natural resources, so we need to be more efficient.

Single-use wearables are tough to sustain from a user perspective.

IndieBio's capital, facilities, and deep mentoring by a network of biotech-specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google, Facebook, and Instagrams of biology.

The world has a huge number of trillion-dollar problems wanting to be solved, and biology is the only way to do that.

We don't want to end up in a class war. We want everyone to have food, clean water, and a long life expectancy.

Put your life into it - it's not that hard.

Writing genetic code like we do software will usher in a completely new way of living for all of us. When this happens, our society will be as fundamentally changed as we have seen from the invention of computers.

You can model experiments on computers now and then execute them, and you don't actually need a fully stocked lab.

We are seeing a new wave of young biologists that are attacking old problems with new tools and fresh ideas, leading to new types of bio startups and creating a much-needed engine to drive Silicon Valley into the next century.

It's possible to fund companies for $100,000 and find out rather quickly whether or not the idea they are pursuing has merit. Scientists now work much faster.

A big part of the accelerator is to help scientists become entrepreneurs. I like to think about each business being built on three major areas: creating the value, creating the product, and extracting the value. We provide help in each of these areas.
