When @joeykrug and I first met @Ismael_H_R last summer, we were struck by his focus, energy, and very specific vision for what he wanted to create with @lagrangedev . It was obvious to us that this infrastructure was very 0—>1 [more detail on why below]

After 5+ years in stealth, yesterday @GordianBio unveiled their platform for age-related diseases. Gordian uses gene therapies to merge pooled screening and in vivo testing for the first time. The result will be better therapies, faster and cheaper, using far fewer animals.

Excited that we co-led a $27.5m round into Nominal One of my rare software investments... why? Devtools for firmware engineers (software that runs on hardware in the real world not in the cloud).. Are still so archaic! Thrilled for Varda to be a customer & FF to be investing!
