Andreessen Horowitz’s First Move in Biopharma
- epistasis 11y ago>No, they’re apparently selling “Rise” pills to improve your memory, and “Sprint” pills to give you more energy. This is the sort of thing I see advertised on the subway, next to the offers to learn how to be an HVAC technician – can “boost your immune system” be far behind? Did Andreessen Horowitz really just invest in the bio equivalent of a "Clean your Mac!" spammer?
- c0bracommander 11y agoLet's be honest. Andreessen Horowitz are not altruists by any means. They are in it for the money. This is the equivalent of the horny goat weed impulse item craze at 7/11.
