Excited to share for the first time what I've been building at @atriaVC - investing in the next generation of founders in AI + biology at pre-seed and seed. If you're building, it's never too early to start a conversation. DMs are open.
Biotech venture capital is on the precipice of a generational shift. At least, that’s according to the crowd of younger firm founders edging their way in. trib.al/IMovNPE
