(well besides actually building)
Setting up our own venture development company, we were deeply frustrated by the partial solutions. Many narrow their scope to survive. We select our clients carefully so we can stay broad.
Client companies own their own systems. Outfit wraps complexity so it's optional. We don't conceal. Our tools aim to make tacit more explicit and messy ground truth navigable. We like BOTECs, bets, and public datasets.
While in undergrad, we used a public dataset to train the first protein foundation model.
Experts will advise on any high-stakes axis: multi-venture structure, international x startup tax, immigration x people ops. We get their advice. Outfit's job is the unknown unknowns, the interaction effects. It's always our department, because our job is to make it work.
We previously led the fastest startup ever to get from founding to human clinical trial with a novel drug.
but we'd love to hear what you're exploring
