Cofounder at Ani Biome, a deep biotech startup developing the longevity algorithm. We focus on personalized gut cotherapy, enabling pharma companies to convert non-responders into responders and improve drug efficacy.
The time has come for the first Bi-weekly update from the Aniverse in 2024! The last two weeks were permeated with secretive happenings, so I will summarize it without disclosing the details (those will go out in the following few weeks): 1) VC Investment Four years after starting a company, during the most brutal fundraising environment ever, after investments from EIT Climate-KIC RIS and 70 angel investors, we realized our first VC investment. More about our lucky partners soon! (joke, the luck is mutual) 2) New HQ We signed the contract for the new, 3x bigger HQ that will unify offices, production, lab, fulfillment, and warehouse. We are moving in this month and will share more soon! 3) Clinical study - results We received the raw data from the participants of our first clinical trial. Our bioinformaticians interpreted the results, and I could just say that they are better than expected, confirming the power of bioactive compounds for gut health. These are only the first 28 samples (the study altogether has 150 ppl through 3 arms) - the official results are coming out soon! 4) Scientific Advisory Board We formed our Scientific Advisory Board of four extraordinary international scientists. We will onboard two more in the following two weeks and disclose all of them at once. 5) New team members We have three more scientists in our core team. I'll share each in the following posts (starting with this one). The following two weeks are reserved for the magic of shaping the future: - Marta, Manuela, Iva, and I will be presenting Ani Biome at CES in Las Vegas (Dragan & Bojan, thanks for this opportunity one more time; see you soon!), after which we will go together to our US HQ in SF - Nika will be presenting Ani on a few longevity panels at the World Economic Forum in Davos Looking forward to everything 2024 will bring! 🦄 💫 👅 #longevity #biotech #startup #venturecapital #investment #machinelearning #scienceandtechnology #mentalhealth #guthealth
