> most decent or ambitious companies in this field are run by exactly one type of person. They are often deeply curious, hard working to the point of near pathology, and will almost always end up pursuing some sort of crazy pie-in-the-sky mission. Like curing aging or making de-novo proteins in a zero-shot manner or trying to usher in entirely new dogmas in biology. In other words, something where immense intellectual output leads to outsized market payoff. I have a friend who works for Nvidia. I can’t remember the founder of Nvidia’s name, but the above paragraph reminded me of the description my friend gives of him. Frankly, my friend is a fanboy of this guy for the reasons given in the article about biology company founders.
