Congratulations to David Baker along with Demis Hassabis and John Jumper on being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this week. Their pioneering work in protein design and synthesis has unlocked new frontiers in therapeutics, and is only accelerated with the maturation of AI. At Argonautic, we are proud to support three founding teams—Cyrus Biotechnology, and two in stealth—that have direct ties to David and the Institute for Protein Design, University of Washington. This is a momentous achievement not only for these teams, but also for the University of Washington, the city of Seattle, and the ecosystem of protein researchers and computational biochemists worldwide. The entrepreneurial spirit emerging from the Baker Lab is particularly inspiring, and Argonautic is excited to continue playing a role in accelerating these opportunities in the years ahead.

The Argonautic team is thrilled to partner with Mark McCall. We've worked with Mark since our inception in 2017 and he's extremely well versed in all things Argon. Timing couldn't be better as we scale global. Welcome Mark!
I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Managing Director at Argonautic Ventures! I have known the leadership team at Argonautic, Howard Liu, Rita Chiu, and Viken Douzdjian, for many years, as the firm is a significant investor in my former fund, iSelect. In this regard, I will continue to focus on the positive impact technology can have in our lives and in our world, but on a more expansive scale. Founded in 2017, Argonautic Ventures is a top-tier investment fund focused on venture capital and growth equity. Argonautic’s core focus revolves around machine learning (ML) and deep learning as this technology will redefine how the world will digitize and interact with technology. The industries where ML and deep learning can generate the greatest value (and therefore returns) are Construction Technology, Fintech and Computational Biotech. The Fund also has significant investments in Food/Agtech. I am tremendously excited to join the leadership team to increase assets, expand our investment platform and global presence, and work with our portfolio companies to help further accelerate their phenomenal growth. www.argonauticventures.com.
