'Robert Nelsen, of ARCH Venture Partners, said he invested because “I think it’s really cool and I like throwing rocks into the pond.”' Definitely a bold approach that will require lots of cash up front, which explains the $200M round. It will be interesting to see how many VCs let their FOMO get the best of them and fund the first credible copy-cat pitch they hear. After all, there is only one Alexis Borisy out there. It will also be interesting to see what kind of tech or novel operational methodology is developed to deliver on their promise to lower costs. I'll also be interested to see whether they demonstrate substantive progress by the time they raise their next round.
