What exactly is it that Omics Studio does? We've tried to explain here, with a little help from the founders of our newest investment. It is a really exciting and important field of research, that can be given a big boost in managing time and resources. Kenneth Kastaniegaard, Patrick Østergaard and Louis Loeb are the founders behind this new way of analysing and uncovering pathways, that could unlock the full potential of omics discovery. Remember to get in touch if you are interested in a pre-seed investment 💰

Accelerace are teaming up with Tech Nordic Advocates on the Diversity Venture Fund 🔥   The Diversity Venture Fund aim to give better access to capital for female/non-binary tech-founders by preparing them for fundraising and connecting them with investors. This includes sending pitch decks and pitching for investors such as us.   At Accelerace it has always been our goal to invest in and help the best startups out there, no matter gender, race or geographical location. That’s why we are excited to partner with Diversity Venture Fund, to secure an even more diverse deal flow. “We're thrilled to have Accelerace join the Diversity Venture Fund! Their proven track record in accelerating startups and commitment to fostering innovation perfectly aligns with our mission to support diverse, purpose-driven founders. Together, we can drive greater impact and growth," Tech Nordic Advocates says about the partnership.   We need more female founders to get funding and we can’t wait to receive the first pitch decks!

We have invested in aid for omics-researchers 💰 Omics are fields that hold immense potential for understanding complex biological systems and for uncovering key insights into disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and treatment pathways. But, the data generated in omics research is highly complex and often requires researchers to spend months linking data points across bioinformatic databases and scientific literature. Omics Studio is here to make the research less complex and more effective, thus wasting fewer, valuable research resources. "This has the potential to radically change the way scientists work, and allow for massive cost savings, as the preparatory work leading to clinical trials can be vastly improved." - Mads Løntoft Look in the comments for a link to the entire story ⬇️
