What Investors Say
John Waldeisen
LEAD INVESTOR
Shu and Joe are two all-star co-founders with deep technical expertise and prior startup expertise. By combining first-in-class comparative genomics and directed evolution, they have developed a library of therapeutic candidates for COVID-19 that neutralize the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2 and inhibit infection. Additionally, the peptide inhibitor can be functionally modified to prime the host’s immune system for response, cleverly doubling as both a therapeutic and immune-boosting combination, providing treatment throughout the entire course of disease progression. The team has computationally identified high-affinity drug candidates, partnered with a manufacturer, and is ready to initiate in vitro candidate evaluation. Finally, their platform can be repurposed for future uses besides biotherapeutics such as the agriculture and industrial biochemical markets.

My wife is an MD and Functional Medicine Practitioner, and I’ve learned the importance of gut microbes for so many aspects of health. I think your idea to use these for targeted therapeutics is essential.
Looking to invest In new things. This is the future of starter companies, in our great country.
Sounds like a great cause.

What stood out to me is how quickly they were able to use their technique to develop therapeutic candidates related to COVID-19.
