Excited to be attending the #BBGGreenFestival hosted by @BloombergLive during #PNWCW2024 and participating in the Climate Tech Challenge from @LeanerStartups and a variety of other affiliated networking events.
Should be a busy and fun week.

Listening to @HeatherHartnett talk about founding team composition with aligned values and skill cross-section is really resonating. Clarity of purpose/accountability from the start is super important.

When starting a company myself or advising venture teams, I'm often faced with the question "How much should we raise?" While the answer is usually some variation of "It depends", I find that too often we don't consider the cultural and behavioral consequences of the choice.

VC Fund size to DPI plot - 168 funds covered & Vintage year 2014-2016
1. Only ~20% are in the carry
2. >$2B barely returned deployed capital back to LPs (not including fees/hurdle)
3. Median fund size of $200M returned >1.5x DPI
Will post other thematic observations later

Biology is complex. But every day we get a little bit closer to understanding the nature of all its glory. @AngCuiPhD and her colleagues have brought us closer. If you're developing vaccines and haven't read this paper, you're doing yourself a disservice. @hdtbio

✨#ImmuneDictionary✨is out today in @Nature!
Paper nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Software immune-dictionary.org
We created scRNA-seq dictionary of 17 immune cell types responding to 86 cytokines in vivo, discovered the immune system is far more complex than previously known 1/
ALT The Immune Dictionary is a large-scale compendium of single-cell transcriptomic profiles of more than 17 immune cell types in response to each of 86 cytokines in vivo, a reference for understanding the complex immune system. The image lists the 86 cytokines, representing almost all major cytokines in the immune system, studied in the dictionary. For more information, see our Nature (2023) publication "Dictionary of immune responses to cytokines at single-cell resolution": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06816-9
