Importantly, many many companies I’ve seen yc fund in the past on the biotech side seem sus like this. Except maybe ginkgo?

  My hypothesis is that those biotech companies which pitch to YC, largely a tech/Silicon Valley incubator, are more likely to be, if not scams, then embrace the “move fast, break things” mentality which for biotech can be either dangerous or bullshit (100+ “therapy” and “mental wellness” apps)

    The opposite would be BionTech, there it took years of mRNA research, and a pandemic, to get their breakthrough. There is tech and there is tech it seems.
