As one small but mad science slice of the amazing machines available to our founders, here's a peek at the Analytics Lab in our Newark, NJ facility, which houses our HAX Hard Tech Program. If you know what a gas chromatogram or thermogravimetric analyzer is, then you'll be excited. As Lord Kelvin said, “to measure is to know.” And if you know, you know🔥 In this clip, our own Susan Schofer, PhD gives SOSV founder Sean O'Sullivan a tour of the lab. Don't miss it! And if you don't know what HAX is, check out 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙄𝙨 𝙃𝘼𝙓 in the comments below.
